contemporary historian

Explanation:

The phrase contemporary historian does not at all support the argument that is being made. The time period in which the novel is set is not contemporary, but rather quite historial.

As a result, being a contemporary historian would be of little use while displaying expertise on a historical subject that took place hundreds of years ago. Nor does the title of historian add anything to the authors resume since Mortimers book is described as an amusing and engrossing guide to a historical period.
