Abstract
- The author discusses the role of historians, particularly those who study early modern history, in contemporary politics. She mentions their expertise in factual analysis and scope, the examples of mermaids and the Italian heretic Menocchio as evidence of belief in facts, and the need to find a consensus in discovering truth.
