Description

Judgements on History and Historians by Jacob Burckhardt is a comprehensive history that spans from Ancient Egypt to the time of Napoleon. Written in the late 19th century, this work represents a significant shift in historical approach, focusing on 'culture' rather than traditional subjects like monarchs and generals. Burckhardt's ambitious scope takes readers through pivotal periods, including the Reformation and nationalist revolutions of 1848, as Europe was undergoing rapid modernization. This book is a testament to Burckhardt's innovative thinking, which would influence generations of historians to come. First published in 2007, this edition offers a unique insight into the development of Western Civilization during its formative years.
