Pseudo-history, and related issues

[Jona Lendering]

I think the term he is looking for is indeed "Popular History" for that does have a pejorative air to it.

Perhaps, perhaps. The trouble is that I'm writing in Dutch, and "populaire geschiedenis" has different associations - "populariseren" means "to explain to a larger audience", but some of these books have been written by academic insiders. That being said, there's a lot of wisdom in your remarks, David.
