Recommend to anyone studying or generally interested in the 'art' of history. (  ) Neal_Anderson | Apr 2, 2020 | The first couple chapters are interesting but it becomes quite repetitive and dry as Carr delves deeper into the subject. By no means a bad book, just requires a sharp mind with a keen interest in historiography. Well worth a reread. (  ) Cyberria | Oct 28, 2018 | The George Macaulay Trevelyan Lectures Delivered in the University of Cambridge, January-March 1961. LanternLibrary | Oct 22, 2017 | It puzzles me that Carr was taken so seriously as a "distinguished historian" in British academic circles, considering that he spent the first part of his career championing appeasement of Germany and much of the rest admiring Stalin.

Who is to say how things really were? In formulating a modern answer to the question 'What is History?' Professor Carr shows that the 'facts' of history are simply those which historians have selected for scrutiny. Millions have crossed the Rubicon, but the historians tell us that only Caesar's crossing was significant. All historical facts come to us as a result of interpretative choices by historians influenced by the standards of their age. Yet if absolute objectivity is impossible, the role of the historian need in no way suffer; nor does history lose its fascination. This edition includes new material which presents the major conclusions of Professor Carr's notes for the second edition and a new preface by the author, in which he calls for ‘a saner and more balanced outlook on the future'.
