What is the point of history? Why has the study of the past been so
important for so long? Why History? A History contemplates two and
a half thousand years of historianship to establish how very
different thinkers in diverse contexts have conceived their
activities, and to illustrate the purposes that their historical
investigations have served. Whether considering Herodotus, medieval
religious exegesis, or twentieth-century cultural history, at the
core of this work is the way that the present has been conceived to
relate to the past. Alongside many changes in technique and
philosophy, Donald Bloxham's book reveals striking long-term
continuities in justifications for the discipline.
