The stories we tell about the past are a crucial aspect of all cultures. However, while the traditional storytelling process--what we think of as \"history\" in the proper sense--is useful, it is also misleading, not least because it leads to the repetition of bias and misinformation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBlack suggests that the conventional idea of history and historians is constructed too narrowly, as it fails to engage with the broad nature of lived experience. By focusing on a singular idea or story within the history being explored, we fail to understand the interconnectivity of the everyday experience. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Brief History of History\u003c\/i\u003e challenges accepted norms of the historical perspective and offers a view of human history that will surprise many and (perhaps) infuriate some. But above all, it is a history of historians written for this moment in time, a time when the traditional Eurocentric approach to history now appears wholly inappropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeremy Black is the author of numerous books, including \u003ci\u003eA Subject for Taste: Culture in Eighteenth-Century England\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eGeorge III: America's Last King\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eEngland in the Age of Shakespeare\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eCharting the Past: The Historical Worlds of Eighteenth-Century England\u003c\/i\u003e.
