So what I'm getting out of this is that it's high time for a scholarly article on why Catt can't be trusted! Let me finish learning German, read Koser's preface, learn French, read Catt's memoirs and Voltaire's back-to-back and see if I can spot any more potential plagiarisms (and of course read the diary), and then see if I feel like writing an essay. We would be doing the field a service!
Well, I'm planning on doing all of the steps listed before the essay, so...we'll see if that translates into an article! (Scholarly articles are like fanfics for me: I have 1,000 ideas, of which 50 make it into notes and outlines and snippets in my drafts folders, of which 5 make it to academic journals or AO3, respectively. Rheinsberg is much easier. ;) )
I will at least tell you guys if I find any more overlap between Catt and Voltaire, though. It'll be good for my French, and I'm curious!
