Thinking Back

The Perils of Writing History

Beschreibung

Thinking Back is C. Vann Woodward's retrospective view of his experience as one of the foremost historians of the United States. Woodward describes--through a consideration of his previous books and the critical dialogue they have engendered--how the history of the South was viewed and written during the early years of the century, how those views have changed over the decades, and the turbulent forces that have influenced revisions in interpretation, subject matter, and comprehension.
