Produktinformationen zu „What was History? “
From the late-fifteenth century onwards, scholars across Europe began to write books about how to read and evaluate histories. These pioneering works grew from complex debates about law, religion, and classical scholarship. In this book, based on the Trevelyan Lectures of 2005, Anthony Grafton explains why so many of these works were written, why they attained so much insight - and why, in the centuries that followed, they were gradually forgotten. Elegant and accessible, What Was History is a deliberate evocation of E. H. Carr's celebrated Trevelyan Lectures on What Is History
