Overview: History is not truth. While it forms the backbone of our knowledge about the world, history is nevertheless only a version of events. History is shaped by the interpretations and perspectives of the individual historians who record it. Consider: Sallust, writing his dark history of Rome to rail against the political corruption he saw consuming the empire—while artfully concealing his own role in it; John Foxe, in his Book of Martyrs, writing about church history to discredit the Catholics and legitimize the reign of Elizabeth I; David Hume, penning his massive History of England with the deliberate goal of creating a potboiler that will earn him a fortune.What, then, is the motive and the vision of the historian? How do historians create their histories? And what role does the historian's viewpoint and method play in what we accept as truth?These questions underlie a history lesson of the most revealing kind.In Making History: How Great Historians Interpret the Past, award-winning scholar Allen C. Guelzo of Gettysburg College takes you inside the minds of our greatest historians. Over 24 intriguing lectures, he challenges you to explore the idea of written history as it has shaped humanity's story over 2,000 years. Told through enthralling historical anecdotes, the course travels deep into mankind's fundamental desire to record and understand the world, to shed new light on the events and experiences of yesterday, and to use the past as a window onto the present and the future.History: The Art of Discovery"History is more than merely a pile-up of facts or a chronicle of the past," notes Dr. Guelzo. "It is an art—and a very complicated one at that. And like the others arts, it has techniques and perspectives, some of them old and long-since retired, some of them in violent conflict with each other."The actors in this art of discovery are the great historians themselves, from the ancient Greeks to our own time. You look through the eyes of our civilization's greatest historical minds to ponder why they conceived and wrote history the way they did.In key sections, you explore the seminal thinking of these men: Herodotus, considered by many the first history writer, who replaced the epic imagination of Homer with istorieis, or inquiry Livy, the author of a 142-volume didactic history of Rome that spanned three continents and seven centuries David Hume, who framed English history with an evolutionary vision of economic, political, and intellectual freedom Edward Gibbon, whose monumental Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire forged a complex picture of epic collapse and decayBeneath the Surface of Written HistoryWith Professor Guelzo's penetrating perspective, you examine the processes that create accepted views of historical events. As you take apart the elements of history writing, you discover how the great stories of the past were chosen and how they were interpreted.In considering the key choices the historian makes, you uncover the ways in which understanding how history is written is crucial to understanding historical events themselves. You also explore how the version of history you accept reveals much about you as an individual and as a member of a community.The journey rewards you with an unforgettable insight into our human heritage and the chance to look with discerning eyes at human events in their deeper meanings. Anyone with an interest in history, philosophy, or intellectual history will find these lectures a far-reaching meditation on the evolution of historical thought."Constructing" the PastAs a core feature of Making History, you explore the major interpretive concepts or historical genres that form the backbone of Western history writing. These are among the many fundamental genres you examine: Celebration: History writing as the remembrance or glorification of great deeds or events, providing a cultural identity for a given people Declension: An interpretive model of decline, charting the deterioration of political, social, and moral systems Continuity: The understanding or justification of present events as they conform to patterns of the past Apocalyptic: A view of human events as moving toward an ultimate, devastating rupture with the past, leading to a new orderYou follow these core genres through time and learn how they interact with other ways of viewing history, including history as science, as economics, as progress, as class struggle, and as culture. You also chart the ways these themes intersect and oppose each other across the centuries, as they illuminate the origins of our contemporary thinking.In the Trenches with Great MindsProfessor Guelzo's storytelling enriches the background of the writing. In the Greek world, you travel with Xenophon and Thucydides through their own dramatic military exploits, as they develop models of history writing that still carry ...
