Hello one and all and welcome to the The Duchess Affair name post. This is a list of period-accurate given names you can give your MC if you need some inspiration or want to know what kinds of names ladies had back then. I've combed through the 1809 edition of Debrett's Peerage for names of noblewomen in the 1600s and 1700s in Britain, which is where I'm taking the liberty of assuming TDA is set.

As always, you can drop any questions in my inbox, I love love love playing reference librarian :-)

Most names in this period either came from the Bible or from literature. The Bible was the most common book owned and read, so Biblical names were frequently seen. Some nobles liked to show off how cultured and educated they were by naming their children after mythological figures or characters from poetry and history, but most people of all classes named children after ancestors or loved ones (which explains why it seems like it was the same dozen names getting passed around again and again.)

Very common names -- the majority of women back then had one of these names:

Anne

Caroline

Catharine (not a typo – this was the standard spelling in the 1700s!)

Charlotte

Diana

Elizabeth

Frances

Georgiana

Henrietta

Isabella

Jane

Louisa

Margaret

Maria (pronounced like “Mariah”)

Martha

Mary

Sarah

Sophia

Less common but not unheard-of names:

Agnes

Alathea

Albinia/Albina

Alicia/Alice

Amelia/ Emilia/Emily

Arabella

Augusta

Barbara

Bridget

Cassandra

Cecilia/Cecily

Clarissa

Constance/Constantia

Dorothea/Dorothy

Eleanor

Emma

Gertrude

Grace

Harriet/Harriott

Hester

Honora/Honoria

Jemima

Judith

Julia

Juliana

Lavinia

Laetitia/Letitia

Laura

Lucy

Marianna/Marianne

Matilda

Penelope

Priscilla

Rachael

Rebecca

Susan/Susanna/Susannah

Theodosia

Theresa

Thomasina/Thomasine

Rarities and oddities -- I only came across these names once or twice each, use them to add a bit of flavor and eccentricity!!!:

Abigail

Amabel/Amabella

Amantha

Anastasia

Angelica

Annabella

Antonia

Araminta

Beatrix

Camilla

Christiana/Christina

Clara

Clementia/Clementina

Dulcibella

Esme

Ethelred

Eugenia

Felicia

Flavia

Flora

Florentia

Frederica

Gabriella

Helen/Helena

Horatia

Josepha

Leonora

Madelina

Margaretta

Narcissa

Octavia

Olivia

Philadelphia

Rose

Selina

Sibella/Sibilla/Sibylla

Tryphena

Urania

Winifred

And just for fun, some extremely British sounding surnames I found that made me chuckle aristocratically:

Beckington

Cavendish

Chatham

Courtenay

Dalrymple

Darlington

Fortescue

Gainsborough

Kingscote

Lovelace

Mountstuart

Ogilvie

Pembroke

Pierrepont

Posonby

Les Miserables (2012) - Behind the scenes.

🎥 Video posted by Cinema Scope on YouTube

Les Misérables is a 2012 epic period musical film directed by Tom Hooper from a screenplay by William Nicholson, Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schönberg, and Herbert Kretzmer, based on the stage musical of the same name by Schönberg, Boublil, and Jean-Marc Natel, which in turn is based on the 1862 novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. The film stars an ensemble cast led by Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne, Amanda Seyfried, Helena Bonham Carter, and Sacha Baron Cohen.

Set in France during the early nineteenth century, the film tells the story of Jean Valjean who, while being hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert after breaking parole, agrees to care for a factory worker's daughter. The story reaches a resolution against the background of the June Rebellion of 1832.

Following the release of the stage musical, a film adaptation was mired in development hell for over ten years, as the rights were passed on to several major studios, and various directors and actors were considered. In 2011, producer Cameron Mackintosh sold the film rights to Eric Fellner, who financed the film with Tim Bevan through their production company Working Title Films. In June 2011, production of the film officially began, with Hooper hired as director. The main characters were cast later that year. Principal photography began in March 2012 and ended in June. Filming took place on locations in Greenwich, London, Chatham, Winchester, Bath, and Portsmouth, England; in Gourdon, France; and on soundstages in Pinewood Studios.

Les Misérables premiered at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on 5 December 2012 and was released on 25 December in the United States and on 11 January 2013 in the United Kingdom, by Universal Pictures. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with many praising the direction, production values, musical numbers, and ensemble cast, with Jackman, Hathaway, Redmayne, Seyfried, Aaron Tveit, and Samantha Barks being the most often singled out for praise. However, Crowe's performance as Javert and singing were met with criticism. It grossed over $442 million worldwide against a production budget of $61 million. The film was nominated for eight categories at the 85th Academy Awards, winning three, and received numerous other accolades. Since its release, it has been considered by many to be one of the most famous adaptations of the novel and one of the best musical films of the 2010s and the 21st century.

my old/beautiful book collection

the pretty books shelves

my Tolkien collection

vintage fiction

antique and vintage Bible study books

I have very few truly old books, but more than I remembered are from the early 20th century. List of titles and more details under the cut

pretty books shelves

Reader’s Digest editions: Little Women (Alcott), Tales from the Arabian Nights, Emma & Pride and Prejudice (Austen), Jane Eyre (Brontë), The Last of the Mohicans (Cooper), The Adventures of Robin Hood (Creswick), Two Years Before the Mast (Dana), David Copperfield, Oliver Twist & A Tale of Two Cities (Dickens), The Robe (Douglas), The Adventures, The Further Adventures, The Memoirs, & The Return of Sherlock Holmes (Doyle), A Passage to India (Forster), The House of the Seven Gables, The Scarlet Letter & Twice-Told Tales (Hawthorne), Kim (Kipling), The Sea Wolf (London), The Song of Hiawatha and other poems (Longfellow), Anne of Green Gables (Montgomery), A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (Smith), Kidnapped (Stevenson), Uncle Tom’s Cabin (Stowe), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court & Innocents Abroad (Twain), A Journey to the Centre of the Earth & Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (Verne)

The Confessions of Saint Augustine—E. B. Pusey translation, Franklin Library edition. This was a Christmas gift from my parents and @bluesidedown has the same one

The Pilgrim’s Progress (Bunyan)—CBN University Press Christian Classics. I don’t actually remember where I got this one but most likely from my dad.

Through the Looking Glass (Carroll)—Heritage Press edition with slipcover and illustrations by John Tenniel. Again, probably from my dad but not 100% sure (he gives me a LOT of books).

The Complete Canterbury Tales (Chaucer)—F. H. Hill translation, Arcturus books with slipcover and illustrations by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris. Another Christmas gift where Blue and I got matching copies from our parents.

Heretics & Orthodoxy (Chesterton)—Hendrickson Christian Classics. Again, a Christmas gift from my parents.

Nemesis & The Mirror Crack’d From Side to Side (Christie)—Heron Books. Another one I can’t remember the origin of.

The Prairie (Cooper)—Easton Press collector’s edition. From my parents, Christmas this year. This is pretty much the handsomest book I own.

Great Expectations (Dickens)—Chatham River Press. Based on the inscription on the flyleaf this belonged to my dad first. Probably I got it as a gift or in his thinning of his collection.

The Scarlet Pimpernel (Orczy)—International Collector’s Library. Another of unknown origin.

Quo Vadis (Sienkiewicz)—International Collector’s Library. It amuses me that in organizing these books alphabetical by author’s last name, these two matching editions still ended up side by side.

Treasure Island (Stevenson)—Children’s Classics, illustrated by Milo Winter.

Treasure Island–Prince Otto–Strange Case of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde–Kidnapped–The Black Arrow–The Master of Ballantrae–David Balfour (Stevenson)—Canterbury Classics omnibus. I actually have most of these in other editions, but I keep this for the ones I don’t have elsewhere.....and keep the other editions too because I am a book-dragon.

The Prince and the Pauper (Twain)—Portland House Illustrated Classics, illustrated by Franklin Booth. Not sure where I got this one.

The Greek Myths (Graves)—Folio Society, two volumes in slipcover. These were a Christmas gift from my parents a couple years ago, because I collect fairy tales and folk tales and suchlike.

Tolkien

These are mostly newer Houghton Mifflin or HarperCollins editions. The Silmarillion has Ted Naismith illustrations; Children of Húrin has Alan Lee illustrations, as do the covers of LotR; The Hobbit and LotR have Tolkien’s original illustrations and maps, and Roverandom has cover art by him as well; and Bilbo’s Last Song, Farmer Giles of Ham, The Adventures of Tom Bombadill, and Smith of Wooton Major are all illustrated by Pauline Baynes.

vintage fiction (top down, left column first)

Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur—Norwood Press, 1911

Stalky & Co. (Kipling)—Macmillan and Co, 1927. Completely leatherbound with gilt spine and seal on the front cover

The Master of Ballantrae & The Black Arrow (Stevenson)—Everyman’s Library, 1938

Popular Fairy Tales (Andersen)—Blackie and Son. No date, but google tells me it’s from sometime in the 30s/40s/50s based on the binding style

Jo’s Boys (Alcott)—The Children’s Press, 1965

Around the World in Eighty Days (Verne)—Dean and Son. No date, but I’m guessing mid-twentieth century

Three Cheers Secret Seven (Blyton)—Brockhampton Press, 1960

At the Back of the North Wind (MacDonald), The Little Lame Prince (Mulock), King Arthur and his Knights (Frith), All the Mowgli Stories (Kipling)—Junior Deluxe Edtions. Illustrations are copyright 1956, no print dates

Freckles (Porter)—Grosset & Dunlap, 1916. Very beat up and mostly held together by packing tape on the spine

The Call of the Wild (London)—Grosset & Dunlap, 1910. It has a very faded picture glued to the front cover as part of the original binding, as well as illustrations throughout. Quite worn, with many pages about to or falling out

Kilmeny of the Orchard (Montgomery)—Ryerson, 1947. This was actually printed before the Anne series was entirely published, as the list of Montgomery’s works in the front only includes the first three books in the series

Captains Courageous (Kipling)—Thrushwood Books. Date uncertain, but google tells me probably 1950s

Heidi (Spyri)—Collins, 1958. While this did originally belong to my dad, it’s the copy I read as a kid and has been on my shelf for a long time

The Mark of the Horse Lord (Sutcliff)—Oxford University Press, 1965. I learned in making this list that my copy is probably a first edition, albeit rather beat up from being a school library copy.

Warrior Scarlet (Sutcliff)—Oxford University Press, 1966. I also have a 1973 copy that still has its dust jacket.

Robinson Crusoe (Defoe)—Dent/Dutton, 1966. A beloved favourite copy that I read many times

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (Verne)—Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1953. Another beloved copy that I read many times, I flatly refuse to part with this one despite having a less faded and beat-up edition because 1) I am dreadfully sentimental and 2) the illustrations in this edition are much better than in the RD edition.

antique and vintage Bible study books

Young’s Analytical Concordance—per a pencil note on the title page this was published circa. 1937, and it definitely looks the part

The Bible as History in Pictures (Keller)—Published in 1964, this is definitely outdated in terms of archaeological evidence of Bible events but it still fascinates me to see

The New English Bible: New Testament—as a Library Edition, I don’t think this strictly counts as a first edition, but it is definitely an early edition as it was printed in 1961 when the NT translation was completed (OT translation of this version wasn’t completed until 1970)

Exposition of Genesis (Leupold)—Wartburg Press, 1942

The Epistle to the Hebrews (Brown)—Banner of Truth, 1961

Luke the Physician (Ramsay)—Baker Book House, 1956

The Gospel in Ezekiel (Guthrie)—Adam and Charles Black, 1857 (or MDCCCLVII if you prefer). This is the oldest book I own, and while is is now quite beat up - the spine is 80% tape and the front cover has come off completely and been replaced with cardboard - I can tell it was a very handsome book when it was new. The spine is bound in dark blue and brown leather, with gilt lettering and decoration, and the edges of the pages have beautiful multicolour marbling on them.

#ooops this is veeeery long #in my defence i have rather a lot of books #so even the fraction that are old/beautiful is quite a few #to quote leah: hope this is enjoyable to others and not just wildly self-indulgent #i had fun and learned a few things about the books i own #and remembered a few i had forgotten i have #about

Isaac D. Shadd (c. 1829 – March 15, 1896) was a newspaper publisher, printer, politician, and bookkeeper. Before the American Civil War, he and his sister Mary Ann Shadd moved to Chatham, Ontario, and published the anti-slavery newspaper, The Provincial Freeman. He and his wife taught at the Chatham Mission School. He was involved in the planning of John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry and led the Chatham Vigilance Committee to rescue Sylvanus Demarest in 1858. He returned to the US and served as a member of the Mississippi House of Representatives during the Reconstruction era (1871-76). He was the Speaker of the House (1974-75).

He was born in Delaware. He was raised Catholic as one of thirteen children of Harriet Burton Parnell and Abraham D. Shadd, both of whom were abolitionists.

Black children were not allowed to attend school in Delaware, so in 1833 Abraham moved the family five miles over the border to West Chester, Pennsylvania. The children studied in a Quaker school. Abraham and Harriet Shadd’s houses in Delaware and Pennsylvania were stations on the Underground Railroad.

He married Amelia Freeman (1861). She was encouraged to move to Chatham by William Still, William King, and Martin R. Delany to establish the Chatham Mission School. She arrived in Chatham in 1856 and the school opened in 1859. It offered classic courses, including philosophy and music. The school received donations and held fundraisers, but it was difficult to keep the school solvent. Sometimes, Amelia taught in public schools to earn enough money to keep the school open. She provided private music, art, and embroidery classes. She organized several religious, lecture, and literary events for the community and contributed to The Provincial Freeman. She was a temporary editor for the paper.

He had a son, Charlton, from an earlier relationship or was adopted. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

First World War Kent Spies.

There were so many spies before and during World War One, that they were almost, falling over each other.

The trouble with spies of course, is that they are so hard to track down and even harder to research, changing names, birth dates, and addresses. My mission starts in Sheerness, Kent in the United Kingdom.

Under the orders of Gustav Steinhauer 1870-1930, the head of the German Admiralty Intelligence Service, many spies were in key locations and well established locally years before the outbreak of war. Steinhauer was so proud of his achievements he wrote a book, ‘telling-all’ after the war.

Ten years later, Losel had taken over the business and was living alone at the rear of 2 High Street in Sheerness. He was listed as a photographer and maker of frames, of German nationality and the ‘employer.’ John Hunt died in the first quarter of 1887, aged 74 still living on the Isle of Sheppey as did his wife Mary Ann Hunt, who died December 31 st. 1891.

In 1901 his address was Beach House, Sheerness which had a huge glass conservatory, which was used as a photographic studio. It was noted later in the magistrates court, it also provided “uninterrupted views to Sheerness dockyard, showing the arrival and departure from the area.” Losel had first been reported to the authorities in 1904 and a year later had been detained for taking photographs on the sea-wall at Sheerness.

Karl Hentschel ran a successful family spy ring in Chatham and visited Sheerness often. In Central Intelligence Agency files released in 2015, they gave 1884-1959 as his birth and death.

Part of his bargaining with the British authorities forwards the end of his spy days in Kent, he provided Scotland Yard with details of his previous spy-ring.

Hentschel said Losel was a German agent in a statement of August 1914, and had been for some years. He also revealed that Losel took regular trips to Germany with his photographic portfolio.

His early photographic cards were labelled as Franz Heinrich Losel. As war hysteria against Germany increased, the name was changed to a more anglicised, Francis Henry Losel. This didn’t help the Sheerness locals who knew him well and didn’t speak to him, when out walking.

On the outbreak of war, local children made their feelings known and smashed his studio conservatory with stones, and it was never used again.

On one such occasion, he took photographs on board HMS Victoria, during March 1890. A group photograph was taken on the forecastle deck of the ship and it proved to be, one of the last images of the crew in England before the ship sank.

During exercises on June 22, 1893, near Tripoli, Syria now Lebanon, the ship went down within 15 minutes after a collision with HMS Camperdown and a loss of 358 crew. Photographs of the crew of HMS Victoria and many other ships visiting Sheerness may have been included in his portfolio visits to Germany. A photograph of the crew of HMS Victoria was shown earlier, as my picture number one. It was found, after a long search at the National Archives, Kew, and the image has not been published before. The connection hadn’t been made, that the crew, while in Sheerness port, had been photographed by a German spy.

Losel spent nearly 30 years in Sheerness as a photographer and for various reasons, was well known. Remembered by a Sheerness resident Ivy Russell in Bygone Kent volume 37, number 6 “ As a sinister, menacing figure who frightened her as a child.” He was also recorded at the local police station as “a suspicious German photographer who spends a good deal of money, but does little or no work.”

Losel was one of 24 interned aliens moved from Brixton Prison to Reading in January 1916. He returned to Brixton on August 6, 1917. He hadn’t been convicted of anything and there wasn’t any evidence, he just detained as a foreign alien. It is thought he was finally deported back to Germany in 1919.

Losel was deemed ‘small-fry’ by local spy master Hentschel. Perhaps there was a class-system for spies, as the top man Steinhauer himself had interviewed and placed Hentschel in Sheerness and given him his initial instructions to set up a language school.

Les misérables (the film)

Les Misérables (Les Misérables) is a 2012 British and French musical drama film produced by Working Title Films and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film is based on the homonymous musical by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, which in turn is inspired by Les Misérables, an 1862 novel written by the Frenchman Victor Hugo. The film was directed by Tom Hooper, with a script by William Nicholson, Boublil, Schönberg and Herbert Kretzmer. It has an ensemble cast headed by Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried and Eddie Redmayne. It tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who becomes the mayor of a village in France. Valjean agrees to take care of Cosette, the illegitimate daughter of the dying Fantine, but due to his status as a fugitive, he must avoid capture by police inspector Javert. The story spans 17 years and is set against a backdrop of political unrest, with the film culminating in France's June 1832 Rebellion. Development based on the musical began in the late 1980s. Following the musical's 25th anniversary commemorative concert in October 2010, producer Cameron Mackintosh announced that he had resumed development on the film. Hooper and Nicholson were contacted in March 2011 and the main characters were cast in 2011. Filming began in March 2012, taking place in various locations, including Greenwich, London, Chatham, Winchester and Portsmouth in Hampshire, England, at the the same as in the French city of Gourdon. It premiered in London on December 5, 2012, and was released on December 25 of the same year in the United States, on December 26 in Australia, and on January 11, 2013 in the United Kingdom. The film has received mixed but generally positive reviews, with many critics praising the cast, especially the performance of Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway. The film received the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, the Golden Globe for Best Actor - Comedy or Musical for Jackman, and the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for Hathaway. She also received four BAFTA Awards, including Best Supporting Actress (Hathaway). It received eight nominations at the 85th Academy Awards, including Best Picture (the first musical nominated since 2002's winner Chicago) and Best Actor for Jackman, winning three: Best Sound Mixing, Best Makeup, and Best supporting actress for Hathaway. Les Misérables received generally favorable reviews. It has a 70% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes out of 227 reviews, with a 9/10 rating under the consensus: 'Impeccably staged but occasionally bombastic, Les Misérables succeeds largely thanks to the virtuoso performances of its filmmaker distinguished cast. On Metacritic, the film earned an average score of 63 out of 100 based on 41 reviews, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'. Due to the numerous deleted scenes in the film, various pages have been created, including: https://lesmisextendedversion.tumblr.com/ requesting signatures so that the directors decide to edit the full version of the film. Numerous fans of the film from around the world have joined this initiative, with the aim of obtaining a favorable response from managers.

Les Misérables (the Musical)

Les Misérables or Les Misérables is a fully sung musical based on the novel of the same name by Victor Hugo, with music by Claude-Michel Schönberg and original French lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean -Marc Natel. The show premiered in 1980 in Paris and five years later made the leap to London, produced by Cameron Mackintosh and adapted into English by Herbert Kretzmer. His Tony-winning score includes such well-known songs as 'I Dreamed a Dream', 'On My Own', 'One Day More', 'Bring Him Home' or 'Do You Hear the People Sing?'. Set in early 19th century France, the musical tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict of extraordinary strength who seeks redemption after serving nineteen years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread. Unable to get an honest job because of his past, Valjean finds his way thanks to the compassion of a kind bishop, who inspires him to break his probation and start a new life under a false identity, while suffering the relentless persecution of the inspector. Javert through the years. Along the way, Valjean and a series of characters will find themselves involved in the middle of a revolution, in which a group of young students fight for their ideals in the streets of Paris. Initially conceived as a concept album in French, the first staging of Les Miserables debuted in September 1980 at the Palais des Sports in Paris, where it ran until December of that same year. In 1983, six months after Cats premiered on Broadway, producer Cameron Mackintosh received a copy of the French concept album from Hungarian director Peter Farago. Farago was impressed by the play and asked Mackintosh to produce an English version of the show. Initially reluctant, Mackintosh eventually agreed and together with the Royal Shakespeare Company assembled a creative team to adapt the musical for British audiences. After two years of work, the English-language version of Les Misérables premiered on October 8, 1985, at the Barbican Center in London, then the headquarters of the Royal Shakespeare Company. The enormous success of the musical in the West End led to its arrival on Broadway. The emblem of the musical is a portrait of the girl Cosette sweeping the Thénardiers' inn (scene that takes place during the song 'Castle on a Cloud') with the flag of France superimposed.

RNZ Pacific 1335 9 Oct 2022

5980Khz 1259 9 OCT 2022 - RNZ PACIFIC (NEW ZEALAND) in ENGLISH from RANGITAIKI. SINPO = 55444. English, s/on w/bellbird int. until pips and news @1300z anchored by Peter McIlwaine. Moko Tepania is aiming to be the first Māori Far North mayor. Previous deputy mayor Ann Court was initially in the lead, but preliminary results released this afternoon have seen her switch places with runner-up Moko Tepania. David Meates lost Mayoral race in Christchurch. Aucklanders are being asked to keep away from a list of maunga this Guy Fawkes to prevent devastating fires caused by fireworks. Fireworks were the cause of an enormous blaze on both Maungarei / Mt Wellington and Maungawhau / Mt Eden on Guy Fawkes night in 2019. For the last two years a list of maunga sites across Tamaki Mākaurau have been closed which has helped to prevent more serious damage and have so far been successful. Iran's state-run broadcaster was apparently hacked while live on air, with a news bulletin interrupted by a protest against the country's leader. A mask appeared on the screen, followed by an image of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei with flames around him. More than 250 whales that stranded on the Chatham Islands have died or had to be euthanised. When strandings occur on the Chatham Islands whales are not actively refloated due to the risk of shark attacks to people as well as to the whales themselves. Whale strandings are not uncommon on the Chatham Islands. The largest recorded pilot whale stranding on Rēkohu occurred in 1918, when an estimated 1000 whales died. Sports. @1303z trailer for RNZ "The Panel". @1304z Weather Forecast: mostly cloudy, light showers. @1306z "All Night Programme" anchored by Peter McIlwaine.
