We’ve got paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technologies Picture Quote #1

In writing my historical novels, I have to rely upon my imagination to a great extent. I think of it as ‘filling in the blanks.’ Medieval chroniclers could be callously indifferent to the needs of future novelists.
