Treating the practice of history not as an isolated pursuit but as an aspect of human society and an essential part of the culture of the West, John Burrow magnificently brings to life and explains the distinctive qualities found in the work of historians from the ancient Egyptians and Greeks to the present. With a light step and graceful narrative, he gathers together over 2,500 years of the moments and decisions that have helped create Western identity. This unique approach is an incredible lens with which to view the past. Standing alone in its ambition, scale and fascination, Burrow's history of history is certain to stand the test of time.

Special Edition A History of Histories with FREE EASY Reading!

As a political scientist and diplomat, I read history for four reasons: 1) as part of my professional training, since it was absolutely necessary to have a sound grasp of the 20th century international system; 2) as area studies for regions of the world I was assigned; 3) opportunistically, to follow up on intriguing things I had heard or read: and, 4) as escape, as travel in time, since a book on Roman history took me as far into the distance as a book on hiking the Apennines. But I'm not sure I had even heard the word historiography until recently, and had certainly never been trained in it. Now retired, I am reading history as literature, to savor the skills of a good writer telling a good story, opened "A History of Historians" thinking that historical writing had followed a linear and unvaried course from Herodotus to the present, and hoping that Burrow would aid me in identifying some good reads. I did get some good leads (whoever had ever heard of Clarendon, anyway?), but I was amazed to find that the historical works I know are really rather a new phenomenon, developing, as I understand Burrow, only after the Renaissance humanists and really only after Gibbon. This was mind-blowing! Some critique: As much as anyone, I deeply appreciate any book that comes in at less than 500 pages, but I would have liked more on the anthropological approach to history. Plus, while I realize that Burrow is British and his work is European centered, I wonder what he knows (I would guess a lot) about Japanese, Chinese or Indian historiography, or what he thinks about Aussie or Kiwi historians. Maybe someone else will take up these subjects. I am really pleased that I discovered this book, salute Burrow's encyclopedic knowledge and crystal clear style, will steal a moment to deplore those historians of whom he writes who disparage history as narrative, and recommend this book to others.
