The Evolution of British historiography :From Bacon to Namier

---

However selective the aims of individual historians may be, their collective aim is to climb to an increasingly comprehensive view of the past. This anthology is designed to show by what feats of imagina- tion and technique the hairpin turns in the road of historical writing have been engineered. The men represented here all possess certain qualities in common: literary ability, intellectual power, broad vision, a reflective, philosophic" cast of mind, a scholarly and critical at- titude toward their material, and a concern for the purpose, as well as the content, of history. None can be removed from the story of the development of historical writing in England without leaving a conspicuous void all except one were pioneers. The exception is G. M. Trevelyan. I include him as the noblest example of those his- torians who were content with the straight road.rn"
