First published in 1958, Detachment and the Writing of History
collects essays and letters by Carl L. Becker in which the noted
historian outlines his views on the study of history, the craft of
the historian, the art of teaching, and the historical evolution of
the idea of democracy. Together, these invaluable writings
demonstrate Becker's conviction of the moral seriousness of the
historian's calling and of the importance of history as a factor,
at once intellectual and artistically imaginative, in the life of
society.
