Peabody Collection Spotlight: Feral Women to Paper Bag Cookery: An Intro to the Bizarre Books of the Peabody Library

Believe it or not, but Victorian and Edwardian researchers at George Peabody Library weren't just reading ancient texts and the latest highbrow novel by Henry James. They were interested in everything from the merits of paper bag cookery to the emergence of feral women in France to manly exercises guaranteed to even get dandies in shape! Find out just how strange the past really was with our rambunctious tour of bizarre books of yore! Presented by GPL Collections specialist Heidi Herr.
