This is so on-brand I'm almost embarrassed. Philippa Gregory has a new novel, and she is, of course, the doyenne of historical fiction. She wroteTidelandscame out last week. It is set during the English Civil War, with the king and parliament at loggerheads. These novels focus on the lives of women during this period. It details what it was like to be a woman who had zero power. I love the period. I love these books.
One of the things that I absorbed was, and I somehow thought that I had seen the film because I had seen every single meme about it. Turns out I have not in fact seen the film, but I watched it this weekend for the first time, and it is honestly the most iconic thing I have ever seen. I cannot believe that the Internet tricked me out of this wonderful film for so long, and I cannot deal with it. It is so incredible. It is absolutely wonderful to see these high camp performances.
