Quote of the Day

John Fea   |  July 11, 2013 Leave a Comment

From the Edmund Morgan obituary in The New York Times:

I would say that my ideal of writing history is to give the reader vicarious experience,” Professor Morgan told The William and Mary Quarterly. “You’re born in one particular century at a particular time, and the only experience you can have directly is of the place you live and the time you live in. History is a way of giving you experience that you would otherwise be cut off from.
