History and Narrative
Of course, if History were nothing but a succession of extraneous ‘accidents’, it could not be a serious study at all.
- E H Carr
![Page 20: History What is history?. What is History? Historical study is not the study of the past but the study of present traces of the past. If people have said,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d745503460f94a54c5b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
History and Narrative
Men wiser and more learned than I have discerned in history a plot, a rhythm, a predetermined pattern. These harmonies are concealed from me. I can see only one emergency following another as wave follows upon wave, only one great fact with respect to which, since it is unique, there can be no generalizations, only one safe rule for the historian: that he should recognize in the development of human destinies the play of the contingent and the unforeseen- H A L Fisher

The role of the historian
There is a two-way traffic between past and present, the present being moulded out of the past, yet constantly recreating the past
- E H Carr

Historical Bias
The awkward thing about history is that bias seems an essential element in it- even in the best of history. The fact is that the facts do not, as is sometimes said, ‘speak for themselves’
- E H Carr
