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.
