No matter how practised we are at history, it always humbles us. No
matter how often we visit the past, it always surprises us. The art
of time travel is to maintain critical poise and grace in this
dizzy space.' In this landmark book, eminent historian and
award-winning author Tom Griffiths explores the craft of discipline
and imagination that is history. Through portraits of fourteen
historians, including Inga Clendinnen, Judith Wright, Geoffrey
Blainey and Henry Reynolds, Griffiths traces how a body of work is
formed out of a lifelong dialogue between past evidence and present
experience. With meticulous research and glowing prose, he shows
how our understanding of the past has evolved, and what this
changing history reveals about us. Passionate and elegant, The Art
of Time Travel conjures fresh insights into the history of
Australia and renews our sense of the historian's craft.
