N2 - Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, when terms such as social distancing and self-isolation quickly entered the common lexicon, dozens of studies have been done on the effect of loneliness on people from a wide variety of demographics. The increasing prevalence of loneliness in modern discourse, and an awareness of the hazards that it poses to society, have resulted in a growing number of historians turning to the archives to study the ways in which people of the past might have dealt with this state of being.
