Om mig I am a doctoral candidate at U. Texas, Arlington. My doctoral research is in executions (hangings, beheadings, etc.) but my interests include, European dynastic history, France, Germany, Britain, Russia; also gay/sexual issues.
Om mit bibliotek My library reflects my interest in history - specifically my research in execution and torture. But it also includes my interest in dynastic history and politics. Of course, the gay and lesbian materials also make up a substantial chunk. In addition, my interest in literature, and philosophy, and mystery also shows up.
Before becoming a grad student, I managed a book store, plus I've always been a bibliophile, even as a child who didn't know the meaning of that word.

It's interesting that you picked up on the crime/punishment section of my library - I'd forgotten it was there. I used ideas about the dispersion of the disciplinary gaze in my Honours' thesis. I've always had a bit of interest in policing and criminal punishment, which I suppose is not surprising given that "European" Australia started out as a penal settlement. I've strayed to the sunnier side of Victorianism in my PhD - gentility, fashion and fainting damsels, but I do have the occasional hankering for the marcabre.
Can you tell me what aspect of executions your thesis is focused on?
Cheers,
Jen.

I just noticed (and I swear I don't know how I missed it) that you added me to your interesting libraries list. First, cheers for that, and second, huh? Compared to your library mine is an anorexic, unfocused, wouldn't-show-to-my-supervisor excuse for a library. Wow, by the way. I console myself with the fact that I haven't been updating it lately (I promise! I promise!) and that you are hopefully further along in your PhD than I am (10 months): if not, please lie.
It's really bugging me as to where we would have run into each other. Have we chatted on the Graduate group site? Or did you see one of my insane postings somewhere? I think that everyone chasing a PhD is a little insane, either that or the process itself unhinges us.
Love to hear from you,
Jen.

Thanks for accepting my invite. It's great to have you on my friends list. Good luck with your PhD. It's a fascinating topic that has always interested me as well.
Take care,
Patrick

Your library looks pretty interesting too. What do you think of Engel's Lord High Executioner? I enjoyed it a lot but I don't have a lot of background knowledge on the subject.

I'm led here by your review of "The Best of Don Marquis". Someone has combined the titles "Sun dial time" and "Love sonnets of a caveman" with it. Do you know whether that is right or wrong? See my query http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.ph... in the Combiners! group.

Thank you for the nice compliment. You too have some titles of which I am envious. It's cool that we share interests in several different areas. I often find that these similar libraries are concentrated only in a particular aspect of each person's collection. I purchased my first copy of Debrett's nearly 20 years ago while I was in college because the university library had only old editions and I was looking for updated titled family histories. I remember trying to save up for it and then having to borrow money from my parents to cover the cost. Matt

Royal Scandals is not a "must" read, it doesn´t add much to Royal readers´knowledge, it is a compilation of the dirty deeds of royals in the past up to the Duke of Windsor. At least for me there wasn´t anything new but as a "nothing else to do book" and a bit of entertainment it is fine. I think that most of us know about Richard the Lion-heart, what Henry VIII did to his wives and that the late Queen Mary had "collecting" habits. I got it as a Christmas present so I had fun reading it. If I come across something really of interest I´ll let you know.
Best wishes,

I received my Bachelor's in History from UTA, and may return there is I ever decide to go on to a PhD.
Fascinating subject for a doctorate! Have you found many primary sources?
On a related subject, there is a museum in London that I happened on accidentally built on the site of the original "Clink" prison that had some fascinating information about imprisonment and torture!

We share 17 books, I thought that I would not have any about executions but going through my list I have two "Crimes and Punishment" but there is no author, just BPC Publishing. I am not going to keep them by the way but the other shared interests are ok,

Hello fellow UTA doctoral candidate. Why am I not surprised that we have similar reading interests?! Have you entered everything? I am perhaps 1/3 of the way through - too busy after Christmas break. Time to get back to it.

Thank you for thanking me. We've got a lot to go, but this software will help us know what we have and be able to find it.
