Smith that explores the evolution of English historical writing and thought during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The authors argue that this period was a time of significant change in the way English historians approached the writing of history, as well as in the way they understood the past.The book traces the development of historical thought during this period, examining the works of key figures such as William Camden, John Stow, and Francis Bacon. It also looks at the broader cultural and political context in which these historians were writing, including the rise of Protestantism, the emergence of the printing press, and the political upheavals of the time.The authors argue that the historical revolution of this period was characterized by a shift away from traditional modes of historical writing, which emphasized the moral and political lessons that could be drawn from the past, towards a more empirical and critical approach that sought to understand the past on its own terms. This new approach was marked by a greater emphasis on the collection and analysis of primary sources, as well as a more nuanced understanding of the complexities of historical change.Overall, The Historical Revolution provides a detailed and insightful account of a pivotal period in the development of English historical thought, and will be of interest to scholars and students of history, literature, and cultural studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
