Tudor Blogger

My name is Helene Harrison and I run TudorBlogger. I’m in my late 20s and have an interest in Tudor History, which has been developed through my university experiences. I have finished my Masters degree in History with Commendation, following on from my BA in History with an Upper Second. I also have an MSc in Library Management with Distinction. Aside from the Tudors, my other interests are the Wars of the Roses, the haut ton in the English Regency, and the history of Nazi Germany, particularly the Holocaust, along with a morbid fascination with Jack the Ripper.

For The Love Of History

My name is Laura and I am fascinated and interested in the past. Ever since secondary school, I have had an interest in history. I think this was down to having such an amazing history teacher who made it fun and fascinating. He taught me that it was not all boring and academic – that we can explore, question and visit the sites where our ancestors have been – that history is not one set story but a mixture of stories and as historians, we have to sift through it all to identify the truth.

History Lizzie

I’m a British historian based in Savannah, Georgia. My PhD research, at the University of Hull, looks at women and their interaction with the world around them through collecting and reading in the English country house during the eighteenth century. This blog is a way for me to share interesting stories from my research, as well as other tales of country houses, art, travel and literature. It’s also a way for me to indulge my unhealthy obsessions with Jane Austen, Paris and period drama. I hope you enjoy my journeys into the past – please leave me comments and questions, I’d love to hear what you think!

Creative Historian

During my four years at university studying ancient history I noticed that there was no where that I could buy Classics-themed goodies for the friends I made on my courses. After my degree finished I made an attempt at self-employment while working part time. It didn't work. In the end I moved to London after getting a full-time job in the archives sector. But even with full-time work, I never forgot that the ancient world seemed to have been forgotten by retailers. Thus I started a shop on Etsy; Creative Classics. After 18 months I started a second shop; Creative History.
