[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Historians are excellent scholars. History. [/quote] While not all academic historians are great writers, among academics I find historians are the best writers.[/quote] Better than English profs?[/quote] Yes, I would say so, at least those who engage in literary/textual analysis (I'm not including the authors who teach creative writing). [/quote] I would add that English is much more "infected" by postmodernism, deconstructionism etc. I once heard that English has become a repository for bad history, bad philosophy and bad sociology. In comparison history has retained traditional methodologies and approaches. It's rejected both the social science "imperialism" of trying to have universal laws etc. and academic fads in the humanities. [/quote]
