Reading Gays analysis of Gibbon and Ranke, Macaulay and Burckhardt, we understand better why they have become and are the admired masters of the historical craft. -Felix Gilbert, School of Historical Studies, The Institute for Advanced Study What does an historians style reveal? In this original and lucid guide to the proper reading of Gibbon, Ranke, Macaulay, and Burckhardt-great historians who were also great stylists-Peter Gay demonstrates that, style is an invaluable clue to the historian's insight. Thus, for Peter Gay, style is the key to culture, and the truth of history-as it helps to define that culture-can only be fully understood through an objective and thorough analysis of all its elements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856408969504,"sku":"NEW0393305589","price":22.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61Dr9I3sftL.jpg?v=1781549523","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/style-in-history-0393305589","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
