"Se em tempos mais modernos e mais civilizados houvera vivido e escrito, não teríamos por certo que invejar às outras nações nenhum dos seus historiadores". Assim Alexandre Herculano elogia Fernão Lopes, responsável pelo que sabemos da monarquia portuguesa dos primeiros tempos. De Gomes Eanes de Azurara, cronista que sucedeu Fernão Lopes, diz o biógrafo: "Louva-se em Azurara, e de louvar talvez é, a sinceridade bravia com que lança em rosto aos heróis, cujas façanhas escreve, os defeitos que tiveram, os erros e culpas em que caíram.

As biografias desses dois cronistas, escritas pelo mestre Alexandre Herculano, mais do que tecer críticas sinceras, oferecem ao leitor um vislumbre desse movimento literário tão caro à literatura portuguesa – as crônicas medievais. De Rui de Pina, destaca ter escrito o maior número de crônicas de que se tem notícia. De Garcia de Resende, um retrato pouco lisonjeiro: "velho cortesão, escreveu a vida de D. João II debaixo dos tetos dos suntuosos paços da Ribeira. A este pobre homem não cabe, todavia, a glória da invenção daquele gênero histórico."

"Onde quer que apareça a censura, onde quer que se aninhe esta irmã gêmea da inquisição, há uma quebra nos foros da independência do homem, há uma insolência do passado contra a dignidade social da geração presente. Seja para o que for, a censura é um impossível político." O que parece ser um ataque à censura é, na realidade, sua defesa. O ensaio, aqui editado, de Alexandre Herculano, é evidentemente anacrônico, porém recheado de argumentos que, em última instância, permitem ao leitor uma boa reflexão sobre o tema!
