Publisher's Synopsis
The Cultural Approach to History by Caroline Farrar Ware is a comprehensive exploration of the role of culture in shaping historical events and the interpretation of historical narratives. The book examines the ways in which cultural factors such as language, religion, gender, race, and ethnicity have influenced historical developments, and how these factors have been represented and interpreted by historians.Drawing on a wide range of examples from different periods and regions, Ware argues that cultural factors are central to understanding historical processes and that historians must take these factors into account when interpreting the past. She also explores the ways in which cultural factors have been used to justify political and social hierarchies, and the challenges that historians face in addressing these issues.The book is divided into several sections, each of which examines a different aspect of the cultural approach to history. Topics covered include the relationship between culture and power, the role of language in shaping historical narratives, the impact of gender and sexuality on historical developments, and the ways in which cultural factors have shaped the histories of different regions and nations.Overall, The Cultural Approach to History is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the ways in which culture has shaped historical developments and the interpretation of historical narratives. It will be of interest to students and scholars of history, as well as anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between culture and the past.Contributing Authors Include Geoffrey Gorer, Goodwin Watson, Franz Alexander And Many Others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
