h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I don't know whether you are interested in the Victorians, but there seems to be so much to write on this era regarding how they saw people of different race etc.

Also I love the film Moulin Rouge and wondered whether you knew of any entries on here with regards to life as a Bohemian (if they called it that).

Look forward to hearing from you soon and thanks for all the compliments you continue to give me. Opti

Yes I have an interest in the Victorians, why the question do you have a cunning plan?

You deserve the when you are good you are good

I notice there is no entry on the Hottentot Venus. In those days they were interested in Darwinism. Furthermore, have you seen The Phantom of the Opera? if you watch the film it alludes to a similar behaviour.

No there is not so what are you planning just the one or a series about the Victorians as an age.

I'm nervous that it may go pear shaped

So what is your plan in detail

I haven't got one. I usually start something and find that it has its natural pattern. Though it could end up like the Japanese entries.

So get one what do you want to cover.

Off the cuff try this as a base

VICTORIA AND GOVERNMENT

HOME
POPULATION
TOWN - COUNTRY - INDUSTURY
EDUCATION - AGRICULTURE - INVENTION AND TECHNOLOGY

EMPIRE
ARMY - NAVY
POPULATION
ADMINISTRATION
GETTING THE EMPIRE - TRADE - REVOLT
HOLDING THE EMPRE - EXPLOITATION
WAR EUROPE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD


It is a big subject if you do it do it properly.

Is it not possible just to do a one off entry on how the victorians saw other people?

Yes
I will give you a clue inferior

with examples of course

Any part of the world race and or colour will do

or should the article be on the real person behind the hottentot venus?

I recon that is a good start but I thought that you wanted to do an article on the Victiorian socity and world.

This will be a hard article to do in a sensative way. And you could ruffle a few feathers if you are not careful.

You still thinking

was away over the weekend pulling down a house

Oh went to a party bid you
