I am curious what you would think if I told you I just finished a book on the history English monarchs from the early mediaeval period (aka pre Edward the Conqueror) through the end of the Tudor’s?
Would you thinking change if I told you that the book used constant references to things like James Bond, Pizza Express, and contemporary pop culture? Oh and it was written by a comedian? It also had loads of profanity, yet was still pretty historically accurate.
Your views probably do change however Unruly by David Mitchell was very funny and informative all at the same time. I was a history major so this stuff is interesting to me even if it wasn’t written by a comedian. It just helps that it was.
