History and Historiography

My favourite subject as an undergraduate was Historiography, which covered historical method and the nature of history. I was fortunate to be invited to contribute to the Blackwell Companion to the Philosophy of History and Historiography by the editor, Aviezer Tucker, which is being launched in Prague next week. Unfortunately I can’t attend…

But I did get to write about Darwin as a contributor to historiography, albeit one who was inadvertently causing a revolution in the way we saw the past rather than a deliberate iconoclast. It looks like a fascinating book and I can’t wait to get my copy.
