Beyond Selidor

I thought that Polite Society might appeal to you! It's definitely in a very similar vein to We Are Lady Parts.

I know what you mean about the consciousness of it being a big part of whether it's overlook-able.

Exactly. If it's done in a kind of tongue in cheek The Knight's Tale way, I enjoy it, but if I feel it's being done in order to manipulate me into feeling warmly towards the author's pet historical fave, it feels almost as if I'm being made to read propaganda. I feel that if a historical figure had an interesting life, I'll find their story compelling in the hands of a good writer, even if said historical figure's values don't align with my own.
