Seeking a usable methodology: The production of the fin-de-siècle female prostitute

History, Lund University, Sweden, Anna.Jansdotter{at}genus.lu.se

The idea of a usable methodology, one which will both retain the idea of `a subject' at the heart of research and also recognize that in historical research the researcher necessarily has to work with textual remains, is discussed. Piecing this together is explored in relation to researching correspondences and other archival materials relating to two women who were fin de siècle prostitutes and also a deaconess who helped and `rescued' them.

Key Words: archives • epistolarity • letters • narrative methodology • the fin de siècle prostitute
