Historian in Roll Tide country. (Almost always) all things early modern Caribbean. Currently foraying into the late eighteenth century while working on THE DUCHESS AND THE DANDY. She/her. Always ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง Currently๐บ๐ธ Views are my own etc.
Two of my absolutely favorite book things together: @sonyabonczek.bsky.social and @draftingthepast.bsky.social Match made in heaven! ๐๏ธ
Thanks for creating the list in the first place - great stuff! ๐
The @jcblibrary.bsky.social has an amazing collection of digitized early modern images that are free! And the system is extremely easy to use!
Lots of great recs on this list, so Iโll add Sara Johnsonโs ENCYCLOPรDIE NOIRE which is a methodological tour de force and an astonishingly compelling read:
