Intimate Associates

Tenney Frank (1876-1939), "Changing Conceptions of Literary and Philological Research," Journal of the History of Ideas 3.4 (October, 1942) 401-414 (at 413):
In our chosen fields we shall understand our authors better if we read what they read, see what they saw, believe for the moment what they believed, enjoy the art and music of their day, enter into their enthusiasms and hatreds, fight their battles with them, hobnob with their fellows, in a word, be their most intimate associates in all respects.
