What is Judgements on History and Historians about?

<p>Renowned for his <b><i>Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy</i></b> and <b><i>Reflections on History</i></b> (published by Liberty Fund), Jacob Burckhardt (1818–1897) has well been described as "the most civilized historian of the nineteenth century." <b><i>Judgments on History and Historians</i></b> consists of records collected by Emil Dürr from Burckhardt's lecture notes for history courses at the University of Basel from 1865 to 1885. The 149 brief sections span five eras: Antiquity, the Middle Ages, History from 1450 to 1598, the History of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries, and the Age of Revolution. As Walter Goetz observed of the work a generation ago, "It is impossible to imagine a more profound introduction to world history and its driving forces."</p> <p><b>Alberto R. Coll</b> is a Professor of Strategy and Policy at the United States Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island.</p>
