On Charlotte Charke

I'm not going to change things, but I have to suspect that you may be a little gullible with regard to her autobiography. For this woman, writing in those circumstances at that time, the work is quite, quite suspect. We pour more than a few grains of salt on her father's autobiography and suspect always that the truth has been prettified, and such we should do with the daughter's, as well. She has every motive to suppress and exaggerate and few motives to say anything about herself that would appear to disadvantage. If you have some other source for information on Sacherevell, for example, I would love to know about it. As I understand it, no one has been able to find a record of the man's existence, which is why the original had said that little is known. Geogre (talk) 10:07, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
