congrats on the new position, id always thought u were already the moderator in here :S lol good luck with ur work, im sure u'll do great things :)

i dont think i phrased correctly what i intend to do, while i do aim to assess the reliability of the contemporary historians (mainly through the critique of more modern scholars) the bigger aim of my work is to assess the usefullness of the scources through a comparison of the narrative they...

well i dont do ancient so im not to worried bout crossing over into that syllabus, and im pretty confident that the ancient syllabus doesnt adress historiography and the other stuff extension focuses on? that sounds pretty interesting, i was thinking about including sumthing on each authors...
