Historians (Hardback)  | Released: 01 Jan 2007

Over the past seven years, historian and broadcaster Daniel Snowman has interviewed a selection of some of the finest historians alive. Historians is an anthology of the resulting critical essays and provides a revealing insight into how we currently regard the ever-shifting past.About the Author: Daniel Snowman is Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Historical Research, University of London, UK. Educated at Cambridge and Cornell, he was a Lecturer at Sussex University and went on to work for the BBC as Chief Producer, Features (Radio). His books have tended to cross conventional historiographical boundaries, from Kissing Cousins (1977), a comparative study of British and American social attitudes and values, to The Hitler Emigrs (2002), which examined the cultural impact of refugees from Nazism. The Gilded Stage: A Social History of Opera (2009) was a pioneering attempt to place the history of opera in its widest historical perspective.
