From the Church Notes of Sir Stephen Glynne for the Diocese of Norwich, 1859: "It is impossible to give any idea of the ornamentation by mere description" so he'll just toss off a series of incredible beautiful and detailed sketches then, apparently, if that will do. #history

where my only tasks were to read and think, eat the delicious meals someone else cooked for me, and sit in big comfy chairs by a lovely fire drinking wine in cozy company. It's the closest I'll ever get to being M. R. James and it was magic.

This is Thomas Kibble Hervey's 1837 "The Book of Christmas; Descriptive of the Customs, Ceremonies, Traditions, Superstitions, Fun, Feeling, and Festivities of the Christmas Season." Fun, Feeling, Festivities, and Nightmare Fuel!

Things do change on the road, I find! Also hold up and OMG, I've read your article in the Historical Journal about Irish Protestant travellers (and learned a lot from it). That's you, who knew (many, many people knew).

I'm always a huge fan of medieval demons who love their work. Look at that grin! I should have such job satisfaction.

Seeing as how I saw your post as I was scrolling at 2:30 am, time limits sound like a very good plan.

Thanks for this list and I’d love to be added (early modern travel, especially people sharing meals on the road, currently writing about English people making jokes about eating frogs’ legs).

I’m sorry but this cat is ridiculous. Her form is far too good and I must pet her.

Hi there! I’d love to be added to this or a subsequent list (EM travel, material culture, interfaith dialogue). Thank you!
