Plans to measure the impact of historical research as if it were a science will undoubtedly mean fewer history books that delight the general reader. The kind of history books that delight most readers probably incorporate original research with elegant, easily accessible prose: possibly a book such as Christopher Clark’s The Sleepwalkers or Lyndal Roper’s...
