It wasn't until 2000 that a Chinese writer won the Nobel prize for literature
November 10, 1938: Pearl Buck awarded the Nobel Prize in literature for her epic portrayal of Chinese peasant life and for the biographies of her parents.

Southwark Fair apparently included the Trojan Horse as well as acrobats, a female drummer, and other A+ attractions. As described in 1733 by William Hogarth, whose birthday is today.

Sarah Malcolm murdered three women in 1733 and was sketched in her prison cell, before being hanged, by William Hogarth. Anybody know another example of a prison portrait? I don't.
