 | | This meant that the works of these historians openly mixed oratory, poetry and literature in a way which is incompatible with the contemporary concern for impartiality and objectivity. | | | A historian is a person who studies history. | | | The English word "Historian" is derived from the French word "Historien", which is pronounced with a silent "h". |

| | Lord Acton on the Historian |
| | I say "on the historian," not "on history," deliberately: Acton, I will argue, was a moralist, and he thought about his subject in terms of the moral duties of those who study it. | | | Acton's ideal of the historian as judge, as the upholder of the moral standard, is the most noble ideal ever proposed for the historian; and it is an ideal that has been rejected, perhaps with grudging respect, by all historians, including myself. | | | What historians required was to be allowed to seek truth for its own sake, to operate freely by their own methods, independent of external authorities and without concern for the effects of their work. |

| | Literary take on vampires gives 'Historian' bite - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Books - A&E |
| | Nevertheless, ''The Historian" is engrossing, and Kostova's depiction of the work of historians is strangely riveting. | | | The Historian, By Elizabeth Kostova, Little, Brown, 642 pp., $25.95 No longer relegated to roaming crumbling castles and crypts, today's vampires seem like hipsters -- brooding sensualists forever torn between a thirst for blood and a love of the world, eternally cool. | | | Elizabeth Kostova's first novel, ''The Historian," however, looks back to Dracula as the reigning vampire, and instead of setting her labyrinthine novel in a series of gloomy nightclubs, Kostova returns us to ancient monasteries, tombs, and, most important, libraries. |
