Beskrivning

In this radical reassessment, Alun Munslow challenges conventional notions of history and offers a new vision of historical thinking and practice. Deploying a range of concepts such as scepticism, aesthetics, ethics, standpoint, irony, authorship and a new understanding of truth, The Future of History examines history as a form of knowledge in itself, arguing that in the future the multiple forms of its expression will be as significant as its content. This thought-provoking, challenging and unique book offers a way forward for history after postmodernism and is essential reading for anyone asking the question 'what is history?'.

'The first stop for anyone thinking about history's current state and its future possibilities' - Keith Jenkins, Emeritus Professor of Historical Theory, University of Chichester 'This is daring and will, or at least should, impact the practice of history, giving aid and hope to those who wish to break free of the constraints of traditional practice.' - Robert A. Rosenstone, Professor of History, California Institute of Technology
