While I was up in Portland for the Golden Crown Literary Society, Lauri and I made a pilgrimage to Powell's Bookstore (as one does). I was vastly disappointed that -- although Powell's has copies of Daughter of Mystery in their warehouse, there were none on the shelves for me to sign and delight in. But I did buy a few books ….
Merrick, Jeffrey & Bryant T. Ragan, Jr. 2001. Homosexuality in Early Modern France: A Documentary Collection. Oxford University Press, New York. ISBN 0-19-510257-6
A collection of primary sources in translation relating to both male and female homosexuality in 16-18th century France. A detailed summary will appear in the Lesbian Historic Motif Project as entry #45 (in a couple of weeks).
Donoghue, Emma. 2010. Inseparable: Desire Between Women in Literature. Alfred A. Knopf, New York. ISBN 978-0-307-27094-8
Another future entry for the Lesbian Historic Motif Project, yet to be scheduled.
Baumgarten, Linda. 2011. What Clothes Reveal: The Language of Clothing in Colonial and Federal America. The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, Williamsburg. ISBN 978-0-87935-253-0
I'm not sure why I didn't already own this book except for the fact that i don't really focus on the 18th century much in general. An extremely detailed and copiously illustrated catalog of clothing of all types and classes in the collections at Colonial Williamsburg.
Quinton, Rebecca. 2013. Glasgow Museums Seventeenth-Century Costume. Unicord Press Ltd., London. ISBN 978-1-906509-86-6
In terms of types of content, there's nothing particularly unusual or special about this publication, but because it focuses on the holdings of one specific museum (and in a non-default location) the particular garments are ones that aren't typically seen, and the coverage is more detailed and complete than a similar publication for a larger institution would be.
