A little background: I'm a (superannuated) two-weeks-away-from-my-Ph.D.-defense student of medieval history. Dissertation on the birth of fashion in the Middle Ages (and although I'm not a(n) SCAdian I have learned a lot from some who are, and I appreciate your acknowledgement of the kind of helpful info they can supply). My career, though, has been in the Broadway theater, and I'm actually writing you as the result of that. Wallace Shawn (not Shaun) is an amazing writer, and you might want to read a play he wrote called "Aunt Dan and Lemon" (which I had the pleasure of working on). It has to do with how easy it is to convince yourself that you're doing the right thing and wind up, like the protagonist, as an enthusiast of all things Nazi. He has an amazingly subtle mind and is a delicate parser of all things moral. (Also an enjoyable actor: if you're a Star Trek fan, you may remember him from DS9 as the Ferengi leader!)historydollnoreply@blogger.com
