The greatest problem in historical scholarship, theoretically and
practically, is the relation between historians and their subject
matter. The past is gone and historians can only study its
remnants. On what basis do scholars select certain facts from the
mass of data left from the past? How do they explain the
interrelationship of the facts they select? What criteria do they
use to evaluate their subject? The 35 volumes in this set,
originally published between 1926 and 1990 discuss and answer these
essential questions faced by historians. The development of
historical understanding during the 18th and 19th centuries was one
of the most striking features of Western culture. Both
historiography and historical thinking advanced as never before.
The historial movment of the 19th century was perhaps second only
to the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century in
transforming Western thought. One consequence was extensive
organisation and professionalization of research, which the volumes
in this set reflect.
