my thoughts looking at the latest draft of my thesis introduction
Photograph of a short extract from a typed archival document, which reads: 'The various experts here who have examined it are very dissatisfied with the History in its present form. They think that the historians ought to have done a great deal better. The English style is, in places, deplorable, and the work suffers severely from repetition and diffuseness'.
