Opis

The greatest problem in historical scholarship, theoretically and practically, is the relation between the historian and his subject matter. The past is gone and the historian can only study its remnants. On what basis does the scholar select certain facts from the mass of data left from the past? How does he explain the interrelationship of the facts he selects? What criteria does he use to evaluate his subject? The volumes in this set, originally published between 1939 and 1990 discuss and answer these essential questions faced by the historian.
