That Noble Dream - The 'Objectivity Question' and the American Historical Profession (Hardcover)
Series: Ideas in Context

The aspiration to relate the past 'as it really happened' has been
the central goal of American professional historians since the late
nineteenth century. In this remarkable history of the profession,
Peter Novick shows how the idea and ideal of objectivity were
elaborated, challenged, modified, and defended over the last
century. Drawing on the unpublished correspondence as well as the
published writings of hundreds of American historians from J.
Franklin Jameson and Charles Beard to Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., and
Eugene Genovese, That Noble Dream is a richly textured account of
what American historians have thought they were doing, or ought to
be doing, when they wrote history - how their principles influenced
their practice and practical exigencies influenced their
principles.
