Talk:Alison Weir

This is Alison Weir! As I spend much of my life analysing sources, I do not see how I can be accused of being uncritical. This kind of thing usually emanates from academic historians who envy commercial success. I have the greatest respect for academics, but they should remember that history belongs to us all. By the way, I was formally trained as an historian! Please amend your website.
- You can edit the pages yourself, you know. Be bold! You may want to get a user account too, if you really are Weir... Dysprosia 22:27, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Is this (http://www.randomhouse.com/features/weir/authorinterview.html) acurate? Did it miss any formal academic training you had? If there is no more, the description seems accurate, though not very complimentary to formally trained historians, who may not do as good a job of explaining history as you appear to.

- I have read the majority of Weir's books, and whilst they are entertaining, I'm not sure whether to believe all the detail noted in them or not. If it is true then she should be commended for her diligent research which few other authors have matched or discovered, if it is not then she should be exposed as someone making fraudulently free with history!
