How to Read a History Book: The Hidden History of History | 
#readingresolutions #bookishpetpeeve #historicalaccuracy My biggest pet peeve isn‘t with the books but with the readers. Reviews about how certain books don‘t fit the morals of the present day are not helpful. Historical 👏🏻Perspective 👏🏻People👏🏻. Do I like degrading slurs or abusive behaviors? No. Do they make sense in historical/classic lit? Sadly, yes. If we deny our history, we forget how it was. Then we are doomed to repeat it. @Jess7

plaidchuck My thoughts exactly. I feel the same way when people dismiss classics due to this or even the author's personal life. 6y
Burghbookaddict Omg I know. Things were different 150 years ago. Society evolves. 🙄 6y
