HB drabble: Learned [Irwin, general]
Title: Learned Author: celandineb Fandom: History Boys Character: Irwin Rating: general Summary: He has made of himself what he always intended. Note: For emiime, because she's not feeling well.
He has made of himself what he always intended – his name is familiar country-wide, and if the dons in their ivied halls are less than generous with their respect, he doesn't care. History should be known, Irwin has always thought, and if the way to do so is to make it 'popular' by means that university historians scorn that's all right. A thousand times more people will learn their country's past through his television programmes than through any of their weighty tomes. He regrets nothing of what he has done, and only one or two things that he has not.
