Most Important Lecture for Future Historians

Revisado: 08-29-21

Making History: How Great Historians Interpret the Past is a lecture that teaches the Historian's Craft. Here you will learn how historians wrote and studied the past. From the Ancient World to today, you will be introduced to the most important historians and learn how to write the past, using or discarding their techniques within your own writing. It emphasizes how a historian's interpretation transformed throughout time. To narrow the study down, Professor Allen Guelzo introduces future historians to each major historian throughout the craft. Beginning with Herodotus, Guelzo answers the overall question "How do historians write the past?"

Using several different tones, Guelzo delivers an entertaining lecture on Historiography. He expresses the importance of studying the craft and the techniques that past historians used when they wrote history. Furthermore, he uses proper language accents and themes to describe each historian's culture and what influenced them to write history. As a historian with a Master of Arts History Degree, I find that Guelzo's Historiography lecture was far the best one that I ever heard. If you are struggling in your own Historiography class, you need to invest in this lecture. It will change your whole perspective and make it easier studying the "boring" Historical Theory of what we call Historiography.
