The Creighton Century, 1907–2007 offers a selection of ten classic lectures on history from the first hundred years of the University of London’s prestigious Creighton Lecture series.
This volume offers a chance to revisit some of the great lectures of our time, including previously unpublished lectures by R. H. Tawney, Lucy Sutherland, Donald Coleman, Eric Hobsbawm, and Keith Thomas, published here with commentaries by Virginia Berridge, Justin Champion, Julian Hoppit, and Jinty Nelson, among others. This volume provides a fascinating insight into the development of the discipline of history over the twentieth and early twenty-first century, with lectures on the meaning of truth and modern mythologies, revealing some significant changes in approach and emphasis as well as some surprising continuities.
