Portman Square's Montagu House, circa 1860: A Gathering Place for Blue Stockings of the Day This evocative photograph captures Montagu House, located in the heart of Portman Square in London, England, during the mid-19th century. Montagu House, a historic townhouse, was renowned as a gathering place for the intellectual and literary elite of the time, commonly referred to as 'blue stockings.' Blue stockings were a group of enlightened and educated women who sought to challenge societal norms and expand their intellectual horizons. They took their name from the blue woolen stockings they wore, a symbol of their rejection of societal expectations that women should not show their legs in public. Montagu House, with its elegant facade and grandeur, served as the perfect setting for these intellectual soirees. The blue stockings would meet regularly to discuss literature, philosophy, and politics, often in defiance of the rigid social conventions of the time. The house's inviting atmosphere and central location made it an essential hub for these groundbreaking discussions. The photograph, taken around 1860, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when intellectual curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge transcended societal norms. Montagu House, with its rich history and connection to the blue stockings, stands as a testament to the power of intellectual discourse and the enduring spirit of those who dared to challenge the status quo.
