Speaking of which...what makes an expert? Someone who is already
published? Someone who has a degree in history, research, costuming,
or? Someone who has access to primary sources? I am reminded of
someone who considered "themselves" (grammatically incorrect, but gender
non-specific) an expert, but wrote off Mairead Dunlevy's book, Dress in
Ireland, because she was "just a ceramics/pottery expert" writing about
costume....???
Sorry if this offends anyone...not my intention.
