Why former editor William Rosen chose the 6th century as the subject of his first book :
“The best writerly advice I ever heard (and with which I bored dozens of authors back when I was an editor) is not to write what you know, but to write what you don’t know about what you do know. When I started on this project, I knew a fair bit about European and Mediterranean history, but not much about Late antiquity.”
