The Point of View in History (1906)

The Point of View in History is a book written by William Eaton Foster and published in 1906. The book explores the different perspectives and biases that historians bring to their work, and how these perspectives can shape the way history is written and understood. Foster argues that historians must be aware of their own biases and assumptions, and strive to present a balanced and objective view of the past. He also discusses the role of imagination and creativity in historical writing, and how historians can use these tools to bring the past to life for readers. The book is considered a classic in the field of historiography, and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
