Please explain why you think about and write history as you do?
Collecting together the responses to this question from 15 of the
world's foremost historians and theorists, Authoring the Past
represents a powerful reflection on and intervention in the
historiographical field. Edited by Alun Munslow and presented in
concise digestible essays, the collection covers a broad range of
contemporary interests and ideas and offers a rich set of reasoned
alternative thoughts on our cultural engagement with times gone by.
Emerging from an intensely fertile period of historical thought and
practice, Authoring the Past examines the variety of approaches to
the discipline that have taken shape during this time and suggests
possible future ways of thinking about and interacting with the
past. It provides a unique insight into recent debates on the
nature and purpose of history and demonstrates that when diverse
metaphysical and aesthetic choices are made, the nature of the
representation of the past becomes a matter of legitimate dispute.
Students, scholars and practitioners of history will find it a
stimulating and invaluable resource.
