We look to historians for reliable information about the past. But
modern and postmodern critics have challenged history's credibility
and objectivity, seeing written history as a product of
contemporary culture. Can we find a way to approach history with
new confidence? This book reveals the rational basis for
historians' descriptions, interpretations and explanations of past
events. It defends the practice of history as more reliable than
has recently been acknowledged and argues that historians make
their accounts of the past as fair as they can and avoid misleading
their readers. It concludes by explaining and discussing postmodern
criticisms of history.
