Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 42

[cahn]

Last post, we had (among other things) Danish kings and their favorites; Louis XIV and Philippe d'Orléans; reviews of a very shippy book about Katte, a bad Jacobite novel, and a great book about clothing; a fic about Émilie du Châtelet and Voltaire; and a review of a set of entertaining Youtube history videos about Frederick the Great.

Re: The Prussian archives deliver again!

Update: I have officially gotten the hang of Suhm's handwriting, so the next time I'm so inspired, I intend to order as many of his letters as I can get my hands on, and we'll see if Preuss left out anything interesting! (I assume he published all of Fritz's letters, and thus I don't need to worry about *his* handwriting.)
