Periods/areas of interest: I'm mostly into pre-1600s European history. 12th/13th century southern France is my big area of interest, but I'm pretty much just an all-purposes medieval and classical studies geek. I'm also fascinated by the Ottoman empire in general, late nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain, the Tokugawa shogunate, Heian Japan, nineteenth century Russia, and the French Revolution. I'm mostly a social history person, and I'm super into art history, dance history, literary history, and queer history.
Historical Fandoms:
Shakespeare's the big one here (specifically the histories), as is classic lit in general. I'm also a huge Hilary Mantel fan. Oh, and I blame watching The Lion In Winter at a formative age for Why I Like What I Like. I also watch a ton of costume dramas but I'm not super clued into what the fandoms are like.
Got any more historical comms we've missed?
Nah, completely new to Dreamwidth
Any other comms/events/ideas you'd like to see here?
I have 0 idea how this whole Dreamwidth thing works, so I'm just gonna go with the flow for now.
