In this collection of essays, the author demonstrates that while reading the great historians of the past, such as Gibbon, de Tocqueville, Carlyle, Macaulay, Michelet, Halevy, Marx and Burckhardt, is part of a complete education, history can also be great literature.

Original Paperback. Etat : Gut. XIV; 334 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Little abrasion. Overall good and clean. - Leicht berieben. Insg. gut und sauber. - In these witty and searching essays, the late John Clive sheds light on some of the subtleties employed in the writing of history. He focuses particularly on British historians like Gibbon, Macaulay, Carlyle and Trevelyan, as well as on Henry Adams, De Tocqueville, Burckhardt, Michelet and Marx. History, he insists, is an art, not a science and he shows us how, for instance, the great historians created suspense, balanced background and foreground and enabled readers to feel a sense of participating in, as well as observing, events.
