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: Fritz of Hervey

I laughed at the "volcanoes." I mean, my second thought (even before reading the rest of the paragraph) was that Mt. Vesuvius was a thing and so it's not as weird as it sounds, it just... from my US 21st-century perspective it does sound like an incredibly niche interest :D

Huh, that doesn't strike this 21st-century USian as an incredibly niche interest or weird at all. Some people are just into volcanoes.

OMG, this was everything I wanted out of learning more about Frederick Hervey! Thank you again :DDDDD

It whetted my appetite for more! ;)
