This is a book by historians about history, personal reflections on an ancient but ever varying discipline. As the present work will show, modern historians have written in a variety of genres, but the multiplicity of style cannot obscure the two basic tendencies which have affected all modern historians: the transformation of history into an academic discipline and society's growing demand for history.Stern, Fritz is the author of 'Varieties of History From Voltaire to the Present.', published 1973 under ISBN 9780394719627 and ISBN 039471962X.
