  • Product Description

    A short polemical book which tackles the `what is history' question in the light of recent critical/literary theory. Challenges orthodoxy of Carr and Elton - the starting point for many history courses - and introduces a new agenda and two new figures central to the philosophy of history, Richard Rorty and Hayden White. Described by reviewers as challenging, iconoclastic, refreshing and important.
