This original and important book on the study of history is now
available in a new edition. G. R. Elton's classic work is a
wide-ranging, succinct and practical introduction for all students
and general readers, and it makes a major contribution to the
question "What is history?"
This book sets out Elton's experience in the study, writing and
teaching of history. The author perceived the work as a manifesto,
an explanation of his faith and practice of the subject. The book
has become a classic text for students and teachers since its first
publication in 1969. This edition includes a new afterword by
Richard Evans which assesses the book's relationship to Elton's
work as a whole, its impact on the historical profession and its
lessons for historians today.
