With reference to at least three examples from other historians, discuss the issues of perspective and purpose of History. I'm missing sum otha important points and need help!!!! due on thursday! i was thinking of including herodotus, leopold von ranke and fernand braudel!!

We had to do something similar on herodotus, thudydides and bede...although we only had to discuss purpose and evidence. Have you got the warren book? It's pretty useful.

we have 2 do tha same thing but ours is in relation 2 modern so we got modern historians like Reynolds and winschuttle n that

 

[Jennibeans]

to be VERY basic Herodotus' history was written to entertain. "to preserve the memory of the past but putting on record the astonishing acheivments both of our own and of other peoples and more particularly to show how they came into conflict.' (from Herodotus' preface)
