Richard Denham > Quotes

“The problem with Gildas is that he was a moaner, obsessed with a golden past that never existed and whingeing about the current state of affairs at the time of his writing. He is not, of course, an historian in the modern sense but he is one of a long line of chroniclers who is over-pessimistic about their own times and bewails the loss of a better past.”
― Richard Denham, Arthur: Shadow of a God (the untold mythical roots of King Arthur)
