I wont even be able to claim it as padding


Tsk, tsk. Kind of defeats the purpose of padding, dontcha know?

Don't forget the timeworn method we historians have of padding our work. Quote others. Liberally, extensively. Quote opposing opinions and authorities. Repeat selected sections of the quotes when you discuss them.

Using quotes to open each of your chapters also works, dontcha know. Poetry quotes. Favourite novel quotes. Fast food menu quotes. The possibilities are endless!
