wondrous history

Emelie, nineteen, Sweden, adorer of history. Wondrous History will be about period dramas, mainly tv shows but also movies, actors/actresses behind the period dramas. I track #wondroushistory.

The City of Pompeii in Pompeii (2014)

“In the darkness you could hear the crying of women, the wailing of infants, and the shouting of men. Some prayed for help. Others wished for death. But still more imagined that there were no Gods left, and that the universe was plunged into eternal darkness.” - Pliny the Younger

Stories don't end. They only go their separate ways. We take leave of them, not knowing what comes after.

Hello there, I've just discovered your blog and have fallen in love! I saw your list of things you are currently watching and there's quite a few on there that I adore, too! Some others are X Company, Rebellion, Testament of Youth, Turn: Washington's Spies, The Finest Hours and Their Finest. :) Can't wait to see more from your blog, lovely! xx

Thank you! That means a lot, especially after my hiatus. I haven’t watched period dramas in quite a while now, since I’ve taken a break from this blog. I felt as if I needed to take a break from those too - so thank you for your suggestions! I think I’ll need to watch X Company very soon.

How is it men crush women time and time again and go unpunished? If men were held accountable they'd hang every hour of the day, every day of the year.

I am proud to brand myself as a feminist actress. All the men in my life would say the same thing. It is just about equality and showing that women are empowered, equal and there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
