“But history happened the way it did and not some other way. One of the most irritating characteristics of many modern writers is their inability to keep their current ideological crusades out of their reading (and rewriting) of history. We see Attila the Hun sweeping across Europe, and we want his army to contain more Hispanics. We reade about the battle of Marathon and want it to be a victory for the American way. We see a Puritan woman gladly honoring her husband, and we want her to get some therapy for her theological repressions” (Beyond Stateliest Marble, p. 110).
