...stand out at all. This side the modern historians neglect or ignore. The successors to Parkman or Prescott are-turning their attention to other fields. What comes in to fill the gap is historical fiction. An inspired novelist like Scott, building a "casing of romance upon a core of realism", as Brander Mathews remarked, with a historian's mind for detail, and the creative imagination of an artist; should be prescribed for reading in history as much s in literature.

...printed in Florence during this period, and the even elution of the woodcut may be studied to advantage in them. The earliest cuts showed only a few figures depicted with the greatest economy of line. Later, more figures were employed, backgrounds were elaborated, and an attempt made to achieve realism and expressiveness. The Sacre Rappresentazioni contains cuts made from the original blocks, copies of the originals, cuts made for later editions, and blocks made especially for other books...
