What is History?: The George Macaulay Trevelyan Lectures Delivered in the University of Cambridge - Softcover
Since its first publication in 1961 E.H. Carr's What is History? has established itself as the classic introduction to the subject. Ranging across topics such as historical objectivity, society and the individual, the nature of causation, and the possibility of progress, Carr delivered an incisive text that still has the power to provoke debate today.
