Historians

Historians is a valuable anthology of Daniel Snowman's series of critical features which have appeared in History Today since 1998, about the lives and work of some of the world's top historians. With contributions from the historians themselves, including Simon Schama, David Starkey, Ian Kershaw, Antonia Fraser and David Cannadine, this book provides a revealing insight into how we currently regard the ever-shifting past, filtered through a group of colourful and sometimes controversial characters.

A fascinating insight into the lives and work of some of the world's top historians; Daniel Snowman's History Today interviews and features are collected together here for the first time in one volume.

DANIEL SNOWMAN is Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Historical Research.
