I was rather taken aback, and that, together with the mention of Brummell's syphilis were what prompted my question.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13786279.post-1151162784189146602006-06-24T16:26:00.000+01:002006-06-24T16:26:00.000+01:00Hope we get it over here in the States.

Sounds interesting.<BR/><BR/>Laura's question makes me wonder whether <I>any</I> historical romances ever dealt with a syphilitic character. Too much to ask that it be the hero/heroine, but a secondary character?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13786279.post-1151060507985997342006-06-23T12:01:00.000+01:002006-06-23T12:01:00.000+01:00How interesting: I was disappointed with this dra...How interesting: I was disappointed with this dramatisation. I thought it was much too violent and sordid and went no way to showing the personal charm of this man. Brummell must have been extraordinary if, after years in exile, his friends were still trying to find him a job so he could support himself. Also, Purefoy smirked too much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13786279.post-1151047443682122312006-06-23T08:24:00.000+01:002006-06-23T08:24:00.000+01:00Stephen, how common was syphilis?

If they're really syphilitic and about to infect the heroine, that's not very romantic (and would the syphilis be passed on in utero to their children?), but presumably it would be quite likely. Or was syphilis quite rare?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13786279.post-1150999005353405922006-06-22T18:56:00.000+01:002006-06-22T18:56:00.000+01:00Moan, whine, moan, whine.
