Description: What is History? by E.H. Carr Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description E. H. Carrs What Is History? is the classic introduction to the theory of history. Exploding the Victorian myth of history as a simple record of fact, Carr draws on sources from Nietzsche to Herodotus to argue for a more subtle definition of history as an unending dialogue between the present and the past. Lively, scholarly and challenging, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the meaning of history and its role in society. Author Biography Edward Hallett Carr was born in 1892 and educated at the Merchant Taylors School, London, and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was Craven scholar and took a double first in classics. He joined the Foreign Office in 1916 and after numerous jobs in and connected with the F.O. at home and abroad he re signed in 1936 and became Wilson Professor of International Politics at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. He was Assistant Editor of The Times from 1941 to 1946, Tutor in Politics at BaIliol College, Oxford, from 1953 to 1955, and became a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1955 and an Honorary Fellow of BaIliol College, Oxford, in 1966. He received the CBE in 1920. As a historian he is best known for his monumental History of Soviet Russia, which the Guardian referred to as among the most important works by a British historian this century and The Times called an outstanding historical achievement.
