Announcing Rheinsberg: Frederick the Great discussion post 10

[cahn]

So for anyone who is reading this and would like to learn more about Frederick the Great and his contemporaries, but who doesn't want to wade through 500k (600k?) words worth of comments and an increasingly sprawling comment section:

We now have a community, rheinsberg, that has quite a lot of the interesting historical content (and more coming regularly), organized nicely with lots of lovely tags so if there's any subject you are interested in it is easy to find :D

Oh, speaking of the MT marriage AU, MacDonogh says Thiébault says FW was responsible for the idea. So maybe your miniseries scriptwriters were reading Thiébault! (That may be giving them too much credit.)

(Which Thiébault, I can't tell; I've never been able to track down a single MacDonogh reference, so either he's working from a copy with radically different page numbers than mine, or else, as I sometimes suspect, he's in a parallel universe reading a different author by the same name.)

Definitely too much credit. And I'm starting to suspect that Thiebault, like Voltaire, might have written two sets of memoirs...
