History, though, has always been Fraser’s real fascination. ‘I think it’s no good judging people by our [contemporary] standards,’ she says. ‘Almost everyone [in history] would fail by our standards, including possibly some of our own views when we were young.’ Caroline Norton would, Fraser feels, have ‘been very at home today, but I don’t want to pretend she had views she didn’t, because that’s dishonest’. So although Norton was strongly against slavery, she also believed that it was to the aristocracy that Britons should look for their leaders. Most importantly, however, Norton fought for women’s rights and caused laws to be changed. When her husband sued her and Melbourne for ‘criminal conversation’, she was not represented in court, despite days of lurid testimony. As a married woman, she had no legal existence outside marriage – as Norton herself succinctly put it: ‘She does not exist; her husband exists.’ A property crisis". New Philosopher.

The first magazine I remember was Dolly. It was a magazine for young girls in Australia, but it ceased print publication just under two years ago. I bought it while staying at my grandparents’ house in the country. For those with the means to be aesthetes, like Henry with his trust fund, his redundancy cheque and his good fortune to be born a good-looking male in a well-paying field, one could say he is blessed to live the aesthetic life. But the aesthetic life still has to be worked at – new pleasures found, logistics organised for their attainment, forever coming up with the next pleasure hit, whether that’s in the form of a new luxury to indulge or a new travel destination or a new friendship, and then finding the means to continually fund it all as hedonistic pursuits take up more and more time and cost ever more money. One can become travel-weary from having so much pleasure, exhausted by the chase. “With the possession or certain expectation of good things,” writes the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, “our demand rises, and increases our capacity for further possession and larger expectations.” As a fan of the two magazines that Antonia Case co-founded, Womankind and New Philosopher, and as a fellow full-time traveller, I was so looking forward to this book, but was left feeling a bit disappointed.

I LOVE Antonia's magazines, Philosophy Now and Womankind, which I highly recommend! So the idea of getting a glimpse into the brain of the woman who created and produced something so glorious in all the important ways was just too exciting.

In Flourish you tell the story of how you quit your job and travelled across the world in search of your ideal self. How did you find writing about that experience? Did you know while you were travelling that you wanted to write it all down, or did it come about afterwards?

The Inquisition records for Cuenca seem to bear this out. During the period when Antonia claimed to be the Inquisitor’s object of desire, there was a sharp decline in the percentage of people penanced for for­nication. Presumably, those arrested for fornication were instead re­leased for insufficient evidence or granted a suspended sentence. The figures are interesting. In 1582, 73% of those arrested for fornication were pen­anced. In 1583 it was 75%. In 1584 (but before Antonia’s ar­rival): 60%; for the next five months: 10%; for the end of the year (when she was under suspicion): 100%. Then in 1585, when Antonia worked for the Inquisitors and had her affair with one of them, the figure is 11%. In 1586 it was 35%, and in 1587 it was 50%.Moreover, Tarazi noted that this case was impressive right from the start, both in its specificity of information and in the way it was re­vealed. Whereas Dilmen’s other regressions had a nebulous quality, ‘Anton­ia came through as a proud, independent woman who knew ex­actly who, what, and where she was’. 17 Dilmen’s hypnotist for the first set of sessions was a person born, raised, and edu­cated in Holland, with a good command of Dutch history. His pointed questioning of Antonia led to some interesting revelations early on. Tara­zi writes, Magazines focused on alternatives". The Dissolve. Archived from the original on 15 December 2018 .
