I'm just finishing a graduate seminar on Twain and for the last week we read
a variety of women's texts. When we were discussing Eve's Diary, one of the
students made an observation about Eve mentioning that she is/was
left-handed. Since much of the scholarship considers Twain as having given
Eve many of Livy's qualities, my students and I were wondering if Livy was
left-handed.
While this is not of monumental importance, it would be interesting to know.
Thanks!
