What person who isn't already a literature/history nerd cares about London's public house scene in the mid-18th century?
Not saying it isn't interesting. But journalism needs to be provocative to have a "hook" to bring people in who normally wouldn't bother to read about an 18th century literary figure.
If the subject is Steve Jobs or Donald Trump you don't need to be provocative to get the eyeballs.
