clo_againHaving just realised I've spent the last half an hour searching for how much whores charged in the 18th century, I've decided writing is quite possibly one of the weirdest professions around. o_O
In other news, I'm heading York-wards tomorrow, so I won't be back until Friday night. *sighs* Don't do anything momentous while I'm gone because I'll kick myself for missing it.
See you all Friday night. Love, peace and jelly babies!

Footnotes to the rescue!
Date: 2003-09-01 09:26 am (UTC)Fanny Hill was offered 150 guineas for her virginity (Cleland 1749/1964, p. 27). Prices charged for normal transactions in 18th century brothels were usually much less than one pound (du Sorbier 1982).
I'm suddenly bemused by the fact I wanted to find this out so much. ^__^

Date: 2003-09-01 08:06 pm (UTC)Oh! I JUST found that article and was in the process of letting you know! Good old footnotes - where would we be without them? Hmm...maybe throwing mudpies at Arwen? :D

Date: 2003-09-02 04:41 am (UTC)I love footnotes. So often you can skip reading something college and answer questions from the footnotes. Makes ours lives so much easier. ^__^
See - persistence always works! ^____^
