About Saintplume
SaintPlume is a quiet corner of the internet for those who love the elegance of the past. It's for the ones who get lost in old letters, who linger over the margins of history books, and who believe diplomacy is as much an art as it is a strategy.
Created by an international relations student, a law student and a history student, this space grew out of a soft kind of curiosity — the kind that doesn’t rush, that asks questions gently, and that finds beauty in the fine print of forgotten treaties.
It’s not about being grand or loud. It’s about being thoughtful. Gracious. A little romantic. And always, always curious.
small note, in the spirit of honesty: while these articles are written by human hands, the research and fact-checking behind them are aided by modern tools. Our words are ours, but we sometimes let artificial intelligence help comb through dusty archives and ancient dispatches, ensuring what you read is as true as it is beautiful.
If you’ve found your way here, welcome; truly.
I hope you feel at home.
