“Being a historian is hard. There's the learning of foreign and/or dead languages; the remembering of archaic legal terms; the decoding of scrawled handwriting; the contextualising of long-forgotten slang and jokes; the traipsing off to faraway archives; the frustration of lacking key sources, or of having way too any; and the constant nagging doubt that there's both too much to know and so much we'll never know.”

“But the true historical fervour is the love of the past for the sake of the past… And behind it is the very passion to understand men in their diversity, the desire to study a bygone age in the things in which it differs from the present. The true historical fervour is that of the man for whom the exercise of historical imagination brings its own reward, in those inklings of a deeper understanding, those glimpses of a new interpretative truth, which are the historian’s achievement and his aesthetic delight”
