About this product

Product Information

How do we know the stories told by historians are true? To what extent can we rely on their interpretations of the past? Histories and Fallaciesis a primer on the conceptual and methodological problems in the discipline of history. Historian Carl Trueman presents a series of classic historical problems as a way to examine what history is, what it means, and how it can be told and understood. Each chapter in Histories and Fallaciesgives an account of a particular problem, examines classic examples of that problem, and then suggests a solution or approach that will bear fruit for the writer or reader of history. Readers who follow Trueman's deft writing will not just be learning theory but will already be practicing fruitful approaches to history. Histories and Fallaciesguides both readers and writers of history away from dead ends and methodological mistakes, and into a fresh confidence in the productive nature of the historical task.

Interesting read!
A book which really makes you think about how history is written and the human tendency of seeing what one wants to see, sometimes to the detriment of future readers. This book is a reminder that history - and all other written things - will always contain the writer's biases and preferences, meaning careful study and critical thinking are always necessary.
