Historical Controversies and Historians Paperback - 1998
by William Lamont (Editor)
From the rear cover
For students new to the subject of history there are many books on the theory of writing history but very few on how history is actually practiced. This fascinating study by a team of distinguished historians from the University of Sussex fills this gap by exploring the theme of historical controversies and the historians who inspired them.
The first half of the book examines a number of notable controversies, that have been, and still are, the subject of historical debate -- for example, race in South Africa, the legacy of the French Resistance and the origins of the Welfare State. These illustrate precisely the issues involved in "doing" history. The second half of the book focuses upon the historians themselves -- such as Tawney, Carr, Buckhardt, Weber, Thompson -- and demonstrates how the historian puts his/her own spin on historical interpretation.
Together the study of controversies and historians shows with enviable clarity the practical issues of historical method. This unique work takes the reader directly into the experience of the historian, providing an excellent primer for any student embarking on a course in history.
