Condizione: Sehr gut. 377 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Minimally scuffed binding. Otherwise in very good condition. - Content: The first four decades of the seventeenth century were a period of tremendous intellectual ferm…ent in Britain. D.R. Woolf examines one particularly lively area of intellectual activity during this time: the writing of history. Woolf studies the works of individual historians - the 'classics' as well as the hitherto neglected - and the themes and concepts that connect them. He places them in the contexts of Renaissance scholarship, contemporary political debates, and discussion of such issues as the nature of truth, the workings of providence and chance, and the relationship between history and poetry. Beginning with the atmosphere of consensus that marked the general histories of the early part of James i's rein, Woolf follows the development of early Stuart historiography through the writing of more narrowly focused biographical histories by such authors as Camden, Hayward, Colman, Martyn, and Herbert of Cherbury, to the study of Roman history, the dispute over John Selden's Historie of Tithes after 1618, and the use of history as a medium for the oblique presentation of political 'advice' in the 1620s and 1630s. He concludes with the decay of the Tudor-Jacobean notion of history in the 1630s and its replacement in the 1640s and thereafter by a multitude of conflicting interpretations of both the remote and the recent past, as historians tried to make sense of the civil war. By the Restoration, the atmosphere of general consensus about the past had been replaced by one of argument, debate, and controversy. -- Woolf also explores the changing relationship between history and ancillary studies such as antiquarianism, chorography, and legal studies. He discusses how during and after the tithes controversy the very meaning of 'history' came to be broadened to include some elements of erudite study which had previously been excluded from formal definitions of history and the historian's purpose. He avoids the trap of judging seventeenthcentury scholars by the standards of twentieth-century historical scholarship, paying, instead, close attention to what these people and their contemporaries thought they were doing when they were writing 'history.'
