Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. A witty and learned look at academic controversies over 400 years old. Surprisingly modern ideas on the theory of history are mixed with woefully archaic beliefs taken from Latin texts on ars historica. Textural criticism of sources, the place of imagined speeches, and the purpose of historical writing are all debated. There is also a long section on the proper organization of the historian's notebook. This very readable book gives a glimpse of the sophistication of thought that existed at the time.

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 early modern debates about law, religion and classical scholarship. Anthony Grafton's book is based on his Trevelyan Lectures of 2005, and it proves to be a powerful and imaginative exploration of some central themes in the history of European ideas. Grafton explains why so many of these works were written, why they attained so much insight - and why, in the centuries that followed, most scholars gradually forgot that they had existed. Elegant and accessible, What Was History? is a deliberate evocation of E. H. Carr's celebrated Trevelyan Lectures, What Is History?. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
