“feministhistorian a réagi à votre billet : The subject of your thesis...”
– Not really. You can take a much talked about subject and still make it stand out. You just have to have a different way of approaching the subject.
Obscurity doesn’t necessarily mean an automatic A+.
jaded-mandarin asked: are there any unusual 18th century painters you can think of that don't seem to have much written about them? I'd like to research this area for my final thesis, but I have no idea where to start looking for a subject that hasn't been covered in such detail. Also, being British would help, because I only speak english and that limits what I can read up first sources on, sadly! :( xx

I'm Not Making This Up! History Peeps Raid ALL THE...
So 2 yrs ago I’m at college, during summer classes, walking past the English building…
I see my favorite history professor (he teaches Colonial America) unloading truck filled with old paneling, doors, window panes…
Then I remembered there was an old building near Fredericksburg that was supposedly going to be demolished…
“Hey professor, need any help?”
...
SO MANY BOOKS YOU GUYS.
Made it all in one trip though! The backseat, front seat, and trunk, filled with boxes of books. You could not see out of any of my windows! XD
“I’ve never done something like this before!”
“Aw gurl, that’s the beauty of being a history major. Or historic preservation. WE RAID SHIT ALL THE TIME. AND WE AIN’T EVEN MAD.”
FYEAH I'M RAIDING A BOOKSTORE.
My friend’s boss was going to toss out whatever’s left, and there’s A LOT.
And we’re like AW HELL NO.
STEAL ALL THE BOOKS.
