Yet there are significant challenges to this view, most notably from postmodernism. In \u003cem\u003eHistorical Theory\u003c\/em\u003e, a prominent historian develops a highly original argument that evaluates the diversity of approaches to history and points to a constructive way forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Fulbrook argues that all historians face key theoretical questions, and that an emphasis on the facts alone is not enough. Against postmodernism, she argures that historical narratives are not simply inventions imposed on the past, and that some answers to historical questions are more plausible or adequate than others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrated with numerous substantive examples and its focus is always on the most central theoretical issues and on real strategies for bridging the gap between the traces of the past and the interpretations of the present. \u003cem\u003eHistorical Theory\u003c\/em\u003e is essential and enlightening reading for all historians and their students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 7.92 x 6.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 25, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47278259175673,"sku":"9780415179874","price":93.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Z293cjdCcExtbFpxczU4ekxrTTRsUT09.webp?v=1769007613","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/historical-theory-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
