Key Issues in Historical Theory is a fresh, clear and well-grounded introduction to this vibrant field of inquiry, incorporating many examples from novels, paintings, music, and political debates.

Over 11 thematically-based chapters, Herman Paul discusses subjects such as:

  • history, memory and trauma
  • historical experience and narrative
  • moral and political dimensions of history
  • historical reasoning and explanation
  • truth, plausibility and objectivity.
