      I feel like I need to listen to this Naomi Wolf thing but I’m like scared to. Okay I’m going in.

      okay I survived I think because there was so much build up for how bad it was. But it was pretty bad. I give her credit for seeing she’d misunderstood the terminology. But that’s a mistake you really want to catch prepublication probably.

      2/ If you say all the other studies have missed this fact you really want to be sure you’re right.

      3/ Did I catch this right there was an entirely different error/oversight he was starting in on when the recording stopped?

      4/ It’s interesting, certainly doesn’t seem like a bad guess that “death recorded” might mean the person was executed. But working with old legal records is tough if you’re going into the raw records without a lot of knowledge in the field.

      I honestly think part of what went wrong here is that Wolf did historical research of a fairly weedy type (legal records) as part of an English PhD, which meant she didn't get training or contact with those who could help her navigate sources.

      I’m not clear on the broader context. This was for a dissertation? I thought it was like her most recent book?

      She did a dissertation at Oxford in English and used the material in thesis for this book.

          Makes it considerably worse frankly. She had an advisor? I guess as you said, she had some lit person advising who simply wasn’t familiar with the historical material. Sad. Having flashbacks to interdisciplinary smack downs back in the day.

          Historians do it, too. Researching my dissertation, I realized that a fairly prominent historian who claimed that newspaper accounts of the Ripper all created a master narrative didn't realize that they were similar because they were identical wire service reports.

          I guess it’s possible that mid life celebrity PhD candidates have different dissertation defense standards than the common herd of doctoral plebes.

          This does seem like something a professor of Victorian English history on the committee might have been able to catch
