I’ve just posted over on Revise and Dissent a summary of my findings from the research trip to Aberystwyth that looked at the papers of Miss Williams Wynn, my retroblogger.
Having given it a bit of thought, I can’t see that I’m going to have the time in the next decade or two to make her a research priority. She’s an interesting character, and a well-travelled woman: one of the diaries I’ve extracted there talks about her current journey being her 26th! (which I think means to the Continent). I may be wrong, but I don’t think much has been done about this type of “women’s Grand Tour”, which if her example is typical seems to consist of a number of short summer trips, rather than the men’s single, extended version.
But hopefully someone might pick up her story and do more with it – there definitely some good stuff there. As I said there, if anyone is interested please get in touch. I’d be happy to share all the material I’ve got. (About twice as much as I posted.)
