Description
E. H. Carr's thought-provoking exploration of the nature of history challenges the notion that history is an objective record of the past. In this influential work, Carr argues that the facts of history are shaped by the historian's perspective and the cultural context in which they live.
First published in 1961, What Is History? remains a seminal work in the field of historiography, offering a nuanced and insightful account of the role of the historian in shaping our understanding of the past.
With an introduction by Richard J. Evans, this edition provides a fresh perspective on a work that continues to be widely read and debated by scholars and historians today.
