In England after the 1348 'Black Death' plagues, it came back several times over the centuries. 'In 1578, the plague again broke out, and continued to rage nearly two years; destroying 2335 natives and 2482 strangers.' (from a local history of Norwich)

Here in Norwich, Norfolk, England, we had a different valentine's day with 'Jack Valentine'. As children our dad would put presents outside a door and run away, sometimes like a joke with a broom falling down as you open the door. This would happen several times. A regional tradition.

The ruling class (or individuals) of any period in history (or the present) are subject to the economic, political, & ideological pressures of the epoch. Individual decisions may look capricious but that is a mere semblance of history & not its essence. Such remembrance is Tik Tok history!

Charles Dickens didn’t just write novels; he revolutionized serialized storytelling. Readers would line up at the docks in New York, desperate to find out if Little Nell had survived. His stories made readers feel—and sometimes cry—together. #BookologyThursday Art: Sir William Quiller Orchardson

No, in May 1962 for my 11th birthday I was given an Ilford plastic camera that was probably a British copy of the Kodak. It worked until 1967 until it started scratching the film. Here is a photo I took with that camera (between the age of 11 & 16):
