Publisher's Synopsis
""The Point of View in History"" is a book published in 1906 by William Eaton Foster. The book explores the different perspectives and biases that historians bring to their work, and how these can shape the way history is written and understood. Foster argues that historians must be aware of their own biases and assumptions, and strive to present a balanced and objective view of the past. The book covers a range of topics, including the influence of religion and politics on historical interpretation, the role of individual personalities in shaping events, and the importance of context in understanding historical events. Foster draws on examples from a variety of historical periods and regions to illustrate his points, and provides practical advice for historians seeking to improve their craft. Overall, ""The Point of View in History"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the challenges and opportunities of writing history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
