Description

The leading cultural historian Professor Peter Burke offers here several innovative approaches to cultural history. The volume is introduced by an important autobiographical essay in which the author attempts to place his own career in its historical context. A key topic, from which the volume derives its name, is secret history , a phrase that came into use in the later seventeenth century to describe a new genre of historical writing by authors who claimed to be able to go behind the scenes and tell the public the real reasons for important events. Professor Burke focusses on key topics that he believes to have been unjustly neglected, such as the rise of literal-mindedness or the history of the idea of context. In the history of historical writing itself, one of these neglected topics is allegorical history - in other words, writing about the past in order to communicate a message about the present. The book ranges from the history of humour to the history of stereotypes (the Black Legend of the Jesuits). Professor Burke studies the history of oral poetry, as well as changing conceptions of biography, linked to changing perceptions of individuals. He addresses pivotal issues and some familiar themes from unusual angles. These include the case of the anthropology and the geography of the Renaissance, and the study of postmodern views of history as myth, compared with the views of seventeenth-century sceptics.
