The first important scholarly consideration of Enlightenment
historiography of the twentieth century, this book, originally
published in 1926, critically examines the ideas of Voltaire, Hume,
Robertston and Gibbon with respect to the theory and practice of
historiography. The substantial introduction outlines the main
differences between the ideals of these literary-philosophical
schools and those which prevailed among historians in the early
20th century. The author argues that history can never be devoid of
philosphical and literary interest, and that if it concerns itself
merely with the stablishment of fact, will be a discipline of
"contracting horizons".
