From Polychromatic

That's just fantastic. Usually I'm prttey good at research (that's normally how I operate; I read anime blogs topically rather than chronologically), but that I missed a post like that, and on one of the bigger blogs, is a failure on my part. So thanks for pointing it out.I was a student/fan of literature longer and earlier than I got into history, so it's things like character traits and references that draw my attention first. Having come into it with a new history mindset, I never experienced the tension between new/old history; for me it was about macro- vs. microhistory. I'm firmly on the side of the latter, which I think can be especially useful now that we have the internet. A portrait of a single person may not tell us much; portraits of thousands of people, all linked to one another by careful historians, is a society.
