knowledge of earlier ages, and in breadth, as field of inquiry entirely unknown in

structures, and of peasant societies) have emerged and refined their methods and
goals. To many scholars, national history has come to seem an outmoded, culture-
bounded approach, although history written on thoroughly international
assumptions is extremely difficult to achieve.
2. Answer the following questions:
1. What is the difference between the notions history and historiography?
2. How can you specify literature and historiography? How can we assess
early writings of history from literary point of view and from the point of
view of their verifiability?
3. What kind of sources can historians use?
4. What qualities and attitudes are necessary to make history a serious
endeavour? What should every historian try to avoid?
5. Has history always been an independent science? Did Greek and Roman
historians get a special rigorous education?
6. How did history change in the 20
th
century?
