Everything about What Is History totally explained
<
What is History? is a 1961 non-fiction book by historian
Edward Hallett Carr on
historiography. It discusses history, facts, the bias of historians, science, morality, individuals and society, and moral judgements in history.
The book originated in a series of lectures given by Carr in 1961 at the
University of Cambridge. The lectures were intended as a broad introduction into the subject of the theory of history and their accessibility has resulted in
What is History? becoming one of the key texts in the field of
historiography.
Nevertheless, some of Carr's ideas are contentious, particularly his
relativism and his rejection of contingency as an important factor in historical analysis. His work provoked a number of responses, most notably
Geoffrey Elton's classic work,
The Practice of History.
Carr was in the process of revising
What is History? for a second edition at the time of his death.
