The Diversity of History: Essays in Honour of Sir Herbert Butterfield by J.H. Elliott, H.G. Koenigsberger
Requirements: .PDF reader, 22 Mb
Overview: The contributions of Herbert Butterfield to 'history' are not only remarkable for their quality, but for their variety, and it is for that reason that I have put 'history' in inverted commas.
There is the obvious paradox that one of the most remarkable of Sir Herbert Butterfield's books, The Origins of Modern Science, 1J00-18oo, is at first sight an odd choice of subject for one who began his research under the direction of that very eminent but orthodox diplomatic historian, the late Harold Temperley. But the book itselfis an ingenious, indeed a subtle, criticism of certain types of historical priorities as exemplified in the writing of what one may call standard narrative history. Indeed, although some of Sir Herbert's works are pioneering and masterly expositions of the traditional aims and achievements of formal historiography, especially of diplomatic historiography, there is none ofhis books, not even the earliest, which does not display an originality of approach and judgment which, without in any way weakening their scholarly force in the traditional sense of the term, yet give his books a novel and a very exciting flavour of their own.
