History and Biography - Essays in Honour of Derek Beales (Hardcover, New)

For too long, too many historians have been too much concerned with
impersonal forces, underlying structures and long-term
developments. Now, 'people' are back. In a post-modern age it is
easier to appreciate the decisive role played by individuals, as
they ride their luck and seize their opportunity to bend the world
to their will. As these essays by twelve eminent historians
demonstrate, biography is too important to be left to the amateurs.
Among the rich variety of strong characters analysed here are an
Austrian emperor, a German kaiser, a Victorian prime minister, an
Italian dictator, and an American president. Dedicated to a
master-biographer, Derek Beales, the range and quality of this
collection will stimulate, inform and entertain everyone interested
in the history of the modern world.
