About This Item
William Collins of London 1943 Hardcover with dust jacket Jacket edges have wear (70-year-old book). GOOD book in FAIR unclipped dust jacket Eight colour plates and twenty black & white illustrations. Mr Woodward makes clear what the problems facing the historian are and illustrates how, from the earliest times, the most famous British historians have dealt with their subjects - their different methods of approach and their varying successes. In the course of doing this, not only does he provide an acute study of the men and their works, but also traces the differences in their conceptions of history and the historian's function. (Bede, Geoffrey of Monmouth, Raleigh, Camden, Dugdale, Green, Froude et al.)
