History in all its forms is more popular nowadays than ever.
History programmes on television can attract audiences in the
millions, as do top heritage sites, while growing numbers of people
pursue family and local history and join historical re-enactment
societies. A bestselling history book can nowadays outsell a
popular novel, something almost unimaginable fifty years ago. Who
are the men and women who have helped make the past of such
absorbing interest to the present, and how have they done so? In
his stimulating anthology of essays about the life and work of some
of our leading historians, Daniel Snowman provides a vivid snapshot
of history and historians in our new century. Included in
Historians are: Jeremy Black, John Brewer, Asa Briggs, Peter Burke,
David Cannadine, Linda Colley, Norman Davies, Natalie Zemon Davis,
Christopher Dyer, Richard J. Evans, Niall Ferguson, Felipe
Fernandez-Armesto, Orlando Figes, Eric Foner, Roy Foster, Antonia
Fraser, Eric Hobsbawm, Geoffrey Hosking, Lisa Jardine, John Keegan,
Ian Kershaw, John Morrill, Laurence Rees, Lyndal Roper, Simon
Schama, Peter Stansky, David Starkey, Theodore Zeldin.
