I will, and I also want to complete my Hervey trilogy (the Halsband biography and his memoirs being the first wo installments) with the write-up of the excellent Hephaistion essay about him and Fritz of Wales. However, writing up my paperback copy of Lady Mary's Embassy Letters which I'd taken with me on vacation came first, as I hope to interest people in her might get someone (other than us) to sign on in time, hence me posting the write up at my journal.
Yes, absolutely on board with trying to get other people interested! You probably saw I linked to your writeup in my promo post as well :) (And I'm going to comment on it too, I just haven't gotten around to it -- what with all the Yuletide stuff I'm terribly behind on commenting again :) )
I can do the LH writeup: I was going to do it when I was on my big Rheinsberg kick recently, but large chunks of new material kept coming in, so I thought I'd hold off a bit. ;)
[ETA: I just went to add the embassy letters to my Trello list of things to add to Rheinsberg, and the only item still there was "Hervey memoirs". See? It really is on my list!]
ETA: I just want to say how AWESOME rheinsberg is. It's pretty amazing to have a central repository of all this stuff that I can just point people at!
IKR? And let's be real, saying rheinsberg is awesome is just another way of saying selenak is AWESOME. *bows*
Do you want to take the embassy letters too, or should I leave that on my list?
Speaking of letters, LM's 3-volume set of complete letters is arriving in a few days, though of course I neither expect you to read them cover-to-cover, nor is there any deadline. I mostly want them as a reference work, and also I'd like to dip into them sometime myself (probably when German settles down and I can read English without feeling like I'm in danger of losing my German). When I checked them out to scan the Algarotti letters last year, I flipped through and thought she seemed very engaging and having been wanting to spend some time with her ever since. :)
Hervey is up at Rheinsberg. Re:Embassy letters, since that review can go there unchanged, I‘d be glad if you just transferred it, but wait a day or so more.
Tomorrow is our last day on vacation, with one more hiking to be done, and on Monday we return to Bamberg, so that means even less online time for yours truly!
