Description
A collection of essays from 15 leading historians and theorists, exploring how we think about and write history. Authoring the Past presents a range of perspectives on the nature and purpose of history, examining different approaches to the discipline and their implications for our understanding of the past.

This collection will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners of history, providing a stimulating and valuable resource for those seeking to engage with the field. By bringing together a range of voices and perspectives, Authoring the Past provides a rich set of reasoned alternative thoughts on our cultural engagement with times gone by.
