What is Academic History Writing? What is History? (1961): inquiry into the methods and theories of history. One of the major claims is that the socio-cultural, political, economic context in which the historian writes fundamentally shapes historians’ methodology and theory. ‘History consists of a corpus ascertained facts. The facts are available to the historian in documents, inscriptions and so on, like fish in the fishmonger's slab. The historian collects them, takes them home, and cooks and serves them in whatever style appeals to him.’

‘The facts are really not at all like fish on the fishmonger’s slab. They are like fish swimming about in a vast and sometimes inaccessible ocean; and what the historian catches will depend, partly on chance, but mainly on what part of the ocean he chooses to fish in and what tackle he chooses to use – these two factors being, of course, determined by the kind of fish he wants to catch. By and large, the historian will get the kind of facts he wants.’ Edward Hallet Carr, 1892- 1982<br>

‘The historian without his facts is rootless and futile; the facts without their historian are dead and meaningless. ‘It used to be said that facts speak for themselves. This is, of course, untrue. The facts speak only when the historian calls on them: it is he who decides to which facts to give the floor, and in what order or context.’<br>
