Interesting (non-medieval) resource

Posted by in Uncategorized

The National Library of Scotland’s online collection of nearly 1,800 broadsides lets you see for yourself what ‘the word on the street’ was in Scotland between 1650 and 1910. Crime, politics, romance, emigration, humour, tragedy, royalty and superstitions – all these and more are here.”

(This could be a bonanza for a teacher of AP high school english or history!)
