Description:
There are many stories we can tell about the past, and we are not perhaps, as free as we might imagine in our choice of which stories to tell, or where those stories end. John Arnold's book begins by inviting us to think about various questions provoked by our investigation of history, and then explores the ways in which these questions have been answered in the past. Such key concepts as causation, interpretation, and periodization are introduced by way of concrete examples of how historians work, thus giving the reader a sense of the excitement implicit in discovering the past -- and ourselves. The aim throughout is to discuss theories of history in a general, pithy, and accessible manner, rather than delve into specific periods. This is a book that will appeal to all readers with an interest in history or historiography.
