In his view, too many professors regard \"questions of theory and methodology... as pointless distractions from the business of actually doing history. Worse, [these questions] may even be perceived as a threat to the subject.\" Asserting that more attention must be given to fundamental matters, Morley considers such topics as the nature of historical narrative, style in historical writing, the use and abuse of sources, and the reasons for studying history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"History","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42929576345824,"sku":"Books:9780801486333n","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/5911\/6768\/products\/4182q0xSr-L._SY291_BO1_204_203_200_QL40_FMwebp.webp?v=1647546153","url":"https:\/\/theswordandshovel.com\/products\/writing-ancient-history","provider":"Sword \u0026 Shovel (403)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
