Intellectual history, here decontextualized. Especially modern France, history of political thought, and socialism. And Kansas, because that's where I live.

Right! Of course! I love the hanging jaw in that particular photograph.

Maybe! Although in the painting I posted, my understanding is that the skeleton is also a girl.

This one is called "La Belle Rosine ou Deux Jeunes Filles" and is by Antoine Wiertz, from 1847. www.jstor.org/stable/commu...

I did not know! Was curious, but not sure I was curious enough to look up how explicit the analogy was -- very explicit it turns out.

Ah hah! About this -- not working on it particularly, no, or hadn't thought to -- this is because of trying to find things in French for students in special collections here. But Underwood is such a wild figure that I'm kind of curious.

That's hilarious, fantastic and terrible. It's not the later 19th use of Kant I'm familiar with, but I don't know that much about the British context. Thank you!

This makes sense as a general history of philosophy framing, I guess I'm asking really, did Galton think about it that way? Did he specifically mention Kant? Not trying to exonerate Kant! But I am an intellectual historian & so am interested in citations like that.

Here's the TOC -- I don't know much past the Wikipedia page about Underwood, although there are a few things written. Some of her papers are here at KState.

She has a bunch going at once. French mainly. But she also maintains one in *English* for when she just needs to keep the streak going.
