Extract

In history's house there are many mansions, space aplenty for good work of all types. As a result, a vast array of subjects, geographical areas, temporal periods, approaches, rhetorical strategies, levels of analysis, and ideological preferences can all be accommodated comfortably in the same disciplinary space. And historians who don't like the scholarly decor in one particular unit have ample opportunity to find others that suit.
