Containing some 3,000 quotations by 1,000 writers from different
cultures, times, and perspectives, this book will fascinate readers
who enjoy reflecting on history. Choice This unusual work examines
the literature of history and its attempts to define the meaning of
history. Approximately three thousand quotations by about 1,000
prominent philosophers, writers, and historians offer diverse
interpretations of the significance of historical study, ranging
from history viewed as bunk to history elevated to lyric poetry.
The entries, arranged alphabetically by author, represent a variety
of cultures and disciplines, and are documented as fully as
possible by context, author, author birth and death dates, and
vocation. Topics such as the role of the historian, the definition
of history, the purpose of the study of history, and the values
that history imparts broaden the scope of the work and enliven the
debate over the meaning of history. Scholars, historians, and
students will welcome this book, and it will also be of great use
to academic and public libraries as a unique reference work.
