Book Synopsis
An original and insightful examination of the ways in which history is - and might be - written. It traces history's divided nature, beginning with its founding figures, Herodotus and Thucydides, right up to the key figures of historical reflection, such as Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt, and Hayden White. It also explores the challenges posed by postmodernism, and the literary conventions of historical writing.
