What reading level is The Methods of Historical Study; Eight Lectures Read in the University of Oxford In...1884, With the Inaugural Lecture On the Office of the Historical Professor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
William of Malmesbury, after all, gives us no such living picture of the days of Henry the First and Stephen ; but then he has his use, no small use, if he is used warily, for days long before Henry the First.
But there is another class of writers, " ancient " writers, "classical" writers, who have no pretensions at all in any part of their writings to rank as original authorities in the strict sense, but who yet seem to have more in common with real original authorities than with modern critic...al writers. Take Plutarch, for instance. He can hardly be called an original authority, even in the one or two Lives for which he may have had some slight knowledge of his own. He is simply a compiler, though a compiler of a special kind, and a kind not to be despised. And yet, if we draw a hard and fast line, we can hardly help placing him along with the original writers rather than along with modern critics and com- mentators. The fact is that Livy, Plutarch, and a crowd of others, though they are not original author- ities in themselves, are original authorities to us.
