In the article In Defense of Academic History writing, Gordon Wood attempts to explain why Academic history is not popular anymore. He blames the historians, that they have stopped writing for an audience. Wood also states , they forgot how to tell a story. Historic writings have become so specific that the only people who care to read them are historians themselves. The article places the blame of the lack of interest, squarely on the historians. The article is very well written and argues a new view on a point that plagues the field of history, lack of interest.
