Description

Explore the complex relationship between historical facts and narrative in Historical Theory by Routledge. This book addresses the fundamental debate regarding whether historical accounts are objective truths or merely forms of fiction, myth, and propaganda. As postmodernism poses significant challenges to traditional historical views, Mary Fulbrook offers a highly original argument that evaluates various approaches to the study of the past. Rather than relying on facts alone, this work examines the theoretical questions every historian must confront. Fulbrook provides a constructive way forward by arguing against the postmodernist idea that historical narratives are simply inventions. This text is an essential resource for those looking to understand the diverse methodologies used in modern history and the theoretical frameworks that shape how we interpret the past.
