First Edition, 1972. "The editors have chosen their selections from those historical writings valued for their durability and those historians who for all the distance that separates them, equally deserve the name of historian. Volume I includes the works from the first historian to the chroniclers of the Middle Ages. Volume II includes selections from the principle historical works of those writers who molded the art and science of history from the Renaissance through the Enlightenment. Volume III includes the principal historical works of those 19th-century writers who took the 18th-century idea of history as a science and molded it into a craft where a passion for truth came first, while the final volume is comprised of selections from the principal historical works of 20th-century writers, and focuses on the concerns of our own era: the possibilites of cultural history, attention to the weight of power, the connection of calss with politics. The historians of this volume prove that the possibilities of historical writing have been enlarged by these new concentrations" from the jacket flap. Not Price Clipped. Pristine, no wear.
