Put into context and enhanced
Not only is Andrew Livseyâs definition of history different from that of Nigel Duce (Free Press letters, February 23) it also differs substantially from that in the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. I quote: âLearning or knowing by enquiry, a narration of incidents, the continuous methodical record of important or public events.â
We can probably (though not necessarily) believe that certain historical events took place, but the account of these events will depend on which facts relating to them have been selected by the narrator, and by his/her interpretation and understanding of them.
