Arts & Humanities > Historical Literature Commentary: The historian writes historical romance

1 of 1

My academic area of expertise within the greater division of Medieval history is linguistics. The comparative mechanics of high Roman Latin as compared to the vernacular of the sixth century C.E., however, is not the stuff of romantic fiction. While I personally might find such studies fascinating, I need to know when to lea... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Mythology & Folklore Theory: The existence of real vampires

12 of 19

More and more people are coming to identify with the vampire, creature of myth and lore, and with vampirism as a lifestyle.

Jotting down a novel idea on a paper napkin or something and then ... More..
