Reappraisals in History by J.H Hexter

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 1963. Harper Torchbooks.

New versions on History and Society in Early Modern Europe.

The nature and condition of historical proof are Hexter’s continual concerns as he examines the varying interpretations of history in early modern times, probing each thesis and testing it by marshaling the evidence offered in its support and counter-evidence that displays its vulnerability. Writing with pungency and wit, Hexter engages the reader with his authoritative and often controversial frameworks of historical truth.
