Fokker,
People may well be able to achieve some kind of knowledge of the mind set of people in the past, through letters, diaries etc. But in my opinion, to gain an understanding of their moral and ethical values, by which lived in the ethos of their time, and to get a real insight one needs to met the actual people.
