Eighty letters, never opened, sent to the crew of a French ship captured by the Royal Navy during the Seven Years' War.

Renaud MORIEUX @renaudmorieux (Cambridge University) opened them. And, beyond the emotional dimension of doing so across centuries, he shares with us a multifaceted analysis of a coastal, maritime community in eighteenth-century Europe.

#introduction. I am a #Bergamo born-and-raised, Germany-adopted postdoctoral #researcher, #cat-lover, #coffee-addict. I go archive-hunting to learn more about #Saint-Domingue, the #HaitianRevolution, #AtlanticHistory, the #18thCentury. And this is who I blame whenever I am not productive (way too often).

#histodons out there! After a Ph.D. at UniHalle (#intellectualhistory, #18thcentury #Enlightenment and...battling with the German language!), I am now a postdoc at the UniTrier: #HaitianRevolution, #AgeOfRevolutions #AtlanticHistory. Here's an open-access article to cut my intro short & let my cat lie down on the keyboard.
