]]> Comment on The Thrills and Spills of Researching the Distant Past by Nan Hawthorne by Nan Hawthorne http://historicalfictionauthors.net/?p=5462#comment-818 Nan Hawthorne Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:53:24 +0000 http://historicalfictionauthors.net/?p=5462#comment-818 Thanks for that! This is why I am dedicating myself to correcting of the many "erasures" from history, that of GLBT people, by encouraging the practice of historical fiction. As one cannot report what was never recorded, historians cannot accomplush what we can speculate.. and that's not just the horrors of a group so horribly repressed, but also stories of those who managed to make lives and loves for themselves in the harshest of societies. You can find some of this effort at OUr Story: GLBTQ Hisrical Fiction, at http://bookworld.editme.com Nan Thanks for that!

When you factor in all that you mention, then add the superstitions and mistaken beliefs of the time, it can seem impossible. Sometimes it's sad what was left behind as "history," and sometimes it's downright funny! So true, Nan!
