The Writing of History is a book written by Jean Jules Jusserand that explores the art and craft of writing history. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing the principles of historical writing and the second part focusing on the history of France from the 5th to the 16th century. In the first part, Jusserand discusses the importance of objectivity, the use of primary sources, and the role of interpretation in historical writing. He also addresses the challenges of historical writing, such as the difficulty of reconciling conflicting accounts and the danger of anachronism. In the second part, Jusserand provides a detailed history of France, from the fall of the Roman Empire to the Renaissance. He discusses the major events and figures of French history, including the reign of Charlemagne, the Hundred Years' War, and the reign of Louis XI. Throughout the book, Jusserand emphasizes the importance of understanding historical context and the role of historical writing in shaping our understanding of the past. Overall, The Writing of History is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the art and science of historical writing. It provides valuable insights for anyone interested in the study of history or the craft of writing.Additional Author Is John Spencer Bassett.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
