E.H. Carr's "What is History?," first published in 1961, was the
most influential book to examine writing and thinking about history
this century. To commemorate the book's forthieth anniversary,
David Cannadine has gathered an all-star cast of contributors to
ask and seek answers to E.H. Carr's classic question for a new
generation of historians: what does it mean to study history at the
start of the twenty-first century? The contributors pose this
question anew for the most important and lively subfields of
history writing today. For example, Alice Kessler-Harris ponders
"what is gender history now?" while Paul Cartledge asks "what is
social history now?" This volume stands alongside E.H. Carr's
classic, paying tribute to his seminal inquiry while moving the
debate into new territory, ensuring its freshness and relevance for
a new century of historical study.
