Actually, Tok had a valid question. I said I didn't get around to everything.
Their favourites were the murderers- Jack the Ripper, and Mary Ann Cotton. One class begged to hear about Countess Bathory, but I need to save that for a day when we have more time, as she is most certainly not Victorian. I talked them out of their knee-jerk reactions to postmortem photography, and spent a little while on the good Queen's quirks. I walked them through a widow's expected stages of mourning, and ranted about Tesla vs. Edison. (By the way, if anyone has anything to add about Tesla, I'm trying to present him as a "mad scientist" to catch their interest. He really was, in a way, but I'm not sure they're convinced.) I talked about how dirty London was, and how far social expectations of gentility went.


That sounds like a brilliant class! I wish they were that interesting in my school.. >: At least my english lit classes next year has a victorian breakfast, so I can wear my bustled dress for that!


ohh, I wish my school would do that. I don't ever get to wear my victorian dress :<


During our next home coming week, I'm vgoing to try steampunking it whee Im going after the occultist feel, or monster hunter
