À propos de cet audio

In his compact, brilliant, and compulsively listenable account, Richard J. Evans shows us how historians manage to extract meaning from the recalcitrant past.

To materials that are frustratingly meager, or overwhelmingly profuse, they bring an array of tools that range from agreed-upon rules of documentation to the critical application of social and economic theory, all employed with the aim of reconstructing a verifiable, usable past.

Evans defends this commitment to historical knowledge from the attacks of postmodernist critics who deny the possibility of achieving any kind of certain knowledge about the past.
