From the late fifteenth century onwards, scholars across Europe began to write books about how to read and evaluate histories. These pioneering works grew from complex early modern debates about law, religion and classical scholarship. Anthony Grafton's book is based on his Trevelyan Lectures of 2005, and it proves to be a powerful and imaginative exploration of some central themes in the history of European ideas. Grafton explains why so many of these works were written, why they attained so much insight - and why, in the centuries that followed, most scholars gradually forgot that they had existed. Elegant and accessible, What Was History? is a deliberate evocation of E. H. Carr's celebrated Trevelyan Lectures, What Is History?.

Concrete scholarship packed with dazzling amount of footnotes, very much a Graftonian book if you will...主讲ars historica的兴起与在十六十七世纪的逐渐式微，Bodin与Baudouin将其推行于欧洲学界不出三代学者就被时代的大潮和古今之争打散…果然做理论的不仅要看个人水平，也要看时代的发展。

在柏林听grafton讲座的时候他说，有人说我是后现代主义者，我说我是十足的前现代主义者：）
