description: Readings on the Nature of History and the Problems of Historical Interpretation (from the title page). "... Altogether, the readings are intended to provide insight into the complexity of historical study. They should lead a student to recognize that understanding history requires critical intelligence, sensitivity, and imagination -- not merely a retentive memory. If he studies history with this in mind, the benefits will be appreciable. He not only will find his course more challenging and exciting; hopefully he will leave it with a capacity for analysis and perception -- an awareness of the richness of human experience -- that will serve him well long after most of the names and dates have been forgotten." From the Preface, by Thomas N. Guinsburg.
