David Hollingshead, at Defector: "The truth is that every purportedly obvious problem with humanities writing—every bogeyman of bias, difficulty, obscurity, and irrelevance—dissolves into something else, something much more interesting, as soon as we wade into the spaces where the scholarship exists. What actually happens when we read the words on the page, look up the key terms, push against the ideas in a text, scan a bibliography, find the sources, identify a conversation, and put down our own thoughts in language?"
