Item description from seller

Hint of wear to the spine tips else As New in all respects. No jacket as issued. 1st printing, no others noted. Clean and unmarked. "This slender volume is based on two tape-recorded interviews with the renowned Harvard historian conducted in 1991 while he was a Montgomery Fellow at Dartmouth College. This "conversation" provides a fascinating if somewhat rambling account of Bailyn's views of the nature of historical writing and teaching. Although specialists will find little that is new here, two points stand out: his concern that testing students in history courses overemphasizes historiography at the expense of "History," and his fierce belief that written history, in spite of its lack of pure objectivity, is not just another fiction, as some postmodernists would have us believe. An interesting series of ruminations that should be required reading for all beginning history majors and teachers." Anthony O. Edmonds, Ball State Univ., for the Library Journal Every effort is made to ship all books and other items within 24 hours. Tracking number and estimated delivery date always provided.
