About Me
- Elyse
- Amateur Historian, William Pitt the Younger fangirl, follower of Voltaire, admirer of literature, shameless lover of 1930s and 40s costume dramas and believer of Kierkegaardian Christianity. Expect the absurd, the literary, the historical and hopefully the witty. Whether she succeeds in any of them is open to debate.
