I am a writer & historian. One of those destitute country lasses who upped sticks & merrily travelled south on the promise of riches. Cough. Splutter.
I’m currently writing a book about the incorrigible Lord Byron & as such am spending much of my time in darkened rooms being utterly scandalised by his exploits. It’s great.

The History of Love 
What a great blog you have. I came across you scrolling on twitter. New to both (wordpress and twitter)
That’s very kind, Robert!

That’s very kind of you, Andrea. Glad you enjoy the read! E
I very much enjoyed this blog. Have you ever read Benjamin Franklin’s thesis, “On the Choice of a Mistress”?? In any event, keep up the good work from Erik at theoryofirony.
