Well, I certainly wouldn't want to live in the 18th century myself, or the 19th either, for that matter.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The fact that I spend a lot of time in the 18th century doesn't mean I'm not concerned with the 21st.
But the eighteenth century, on the whole, loathed melancholy.
I wouldn't change a thing in my own life, but I'd like to go back in time anyway though, just to some sort of eras that I wish I'd lived in - like the '60s. I'd love to have been in London in the '60s, partying away.
I don't think I would have been great in the 17th century. I would have enjoyed the frocks, and certainly some of the food would have been appealing, but the disease and hygiene would have worried me.
I would say I'm a 19th-century liberal, possibly even an 18th-century one.
I shall cheerfully bear the reproach of having descended below the dignity of history if I can succeed in placing before the English of the nineteenth century a true picture of the life of their ancestors.
So far as the economic condition of society and the general mode of living and thinking were concerned, I might claim to have lived in the time of the American Revolution.
I feel very much at home in the early nineteenth century and am not inclined to leave it.
I'm an eighteenth-century girl at heart. I wouldn't mind being set down in London in 1715, in the midst of all the drama of the Hanoverian succession.
I am a person of the 18th century.
