Description

“Not only our most distinguished historian, but also one of the most valuable contributors to the theory of history” - Spectator

Answering the question “what is history?”, E. H. Carr’s busy and influential bestseller shows that the facts of history are simply those chosen by the historian to examine. His eloquence and broad approach regarding the nature of history and the role of the historian argue that all history is to some extent subjective, written by individuals who are above all children of their time. “Lively and controversial, full of wit and humor, E. H. Carr's What Is History? played a central role in the historiographical revolution of the 1960s” - Richard J. Evans

With an introduction by Richard J. Evans, author of the Third Reich trilogy.

Pages: 272, Dimensions: 12.8x12.8cm
