I always feel a need to listen to your videos twice to be sure I caught everything. I say that approvingly. "Although narrative history has not always been fashionable, the facts sometimes explain themselves better than any analysis of them could possibly do." Love that Sumption line.
Thanks Bryan. It's good to hear your feedback and as a fellow enthusiast for history! Funnily enough, I am enjoying making these things more than I had anticipated. Meantime I look forward to having a proper crack at the Sumption. I managed the first 150 pages so far, of the Cambridge History. I am guessing of course, you will see why that appears to provide a natural break in the text. Lol.
