The question of what the nature of history is, is now a key issue
for all students of history. It is now recognized by many that the
past and history are different phenomena and that the way the past
is actively historicized can be highly problematic and contested.
Older metaphysical, ontological, epistemological, methodological
and ethical assumptions can no longer be taken as read.
In this timely collection, key pieces of writing by leading
historians are reproduced and evaluated, with an explanation and
critique of their character and assumptions, and how they reflect
upon the nature of the history project.
The authors respond to the view that the nature of history has
become so disparate in assumption, approach and practice as to
require an informed guide that is both self-reflexive, engaged,
critical and innovative. This work seeks to aid a positive
re-thinking of history today, and will be of use both to students
and to their teachers.
