- About My Library
- My library reflects my interest in history - specifically my research in execution and torture. But it also includes my interest in dynastic history and politics. Of course, the gay and lesbian materials also make up a substantial chunk. In addition, my interest in literature, and philosophy, and mystery also shows up. Also, I am interested in languages, film, humor.
Before becoming a grad student, I managed a book store, plus I've always been a bibliophile, even as a child who didn't know the meaning of that word. - About Me
- My doctoral studies and PhD dissertation focused on legal justice, while my Masters research was on executions (hangings, beheadings, etc.) but my interests include, European dynastic history, France, Germany, Britain, Russia; also gay/sexual issues. I also enjoy literary works, especially British lit, mysteries, humor, and other random works.
