More about the book
The book explores the contrasting yet interconnected legacies of Leopold von Ranke and Jacob Burckhardt, two foundational figures in modern historical scholarship. Through five cohesive essays, historian Felix Gilbert reveals that their differing focuses on political and cultural history stem from shared influences of the early nineteenth century. This work not only clarifies the emergence of history as an independent discipline but also challenges readers to reconsider fundamental questions in historical interpretation and scholarship.
