Nature of History Reader

Informationen zum Autor Keith Jenkins, Alun Munslow Klappentext In this timely collection, key pieces of writing by leading historians are reproduced and evaluated, with an explanation and critique of their character and assumptions, and how they reflect upon the nature of the history project.

This work aids a positive re-thinking of history today, and will be of use both to students and to their teachers.
