Description
These 16 specially chosen essays sum up the views of the historian Eric Hobsbawm on history and history-writing. They reveal a passionate belief in the importance of studying history and reflect his life-long concerns: history from below; economic history; the importance of social and cultural history alongside the traditional political history; the threat to history; and what we can and cannot expect history to tell us about the present and the future.
