writes about he writes about with brio' New YorkerWho writes the
past? And how do the biases of storytellers - whether Julius
Caesar, William Shakespeare or Simon Schama - influence our ideas
about history today?Epic, authoritative and entertaining, Making
History delves into the lives of those who have charted human
history - professional historians, witnesses, novelists,
journalists and propagandists - to discover the agendas that
informed their world views, and which in so many ways have informed
ours. From the origins of history-writing through to television and
the digital age, Making History abounds in captivating figures
brought to vivid life, from Thucydides and Tacitus to Voltaire and
Gibbon, from Winston Churchill to Mary Beard. Rich in character,
complex truths and surprising anecdotes, the result is a unique
exploration of both the aims and craft of history-making that will
lead us to think anew about our past and ourselves.
