"Eliza has read him more thoroughly than he has read her."

jjhunter has posted a Dear Yuletide author letter with a ton of interesting questions and thoughts, e.g.,

What other historical figures are recognizable as word-drunk firebrands whose stories might be told in such a way?

For example, "Martha Washington named her feral tomcat after him!", while historically dubious, does lend itself to wonderful notions like Martha Washington entertaining herself by finding the perfect animal to name after each and every person in the play.

(Alexander would be a terror at annotating; he'd be like business owners on yelp, unable not to respond to any critique of his actions.)

If Sally Hemings ("Sally be a lamb, darlin’") gave herself the freedom to call Jefferson out (at least inside her own mind) on his inconsistencies, what would Sally's version of 'Burn' be like? etc. etc.
