Quotes by Richard Fletcher (?)

“It is a wholly deplorable state of affairs when specialists in any discipline talk only to each other, and accordingly I have sought to write a book which will communicate some of the fruits of research in a manner which will make them accessible to all.”
― Richard Fletcher, The Barbarian Conversion: From Paganism to Christianity
