Description

"'Who is to say how things really were? In formulating a modern answer to the question 'What is History? ' Professor Carr shows that the 'facts' of history are simply those which historians have selected for scrutiny. Millions have crossed the Rubicon, but the historians tell us that only Caesar's crossing was significant. All historical facts come to us as a result of interpretative choices by historians influenced by the standards of their age"The George Macaulay Trevelyan lectures delivered at the University of Cambridge January-March 1961.159p. index. Crisp copy, paper age toned, else fine.
