H. Carr is a history book. Carr's What Is History? is the classic introduction to the theory of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExploding the Victorian myth of history as a simple record of fact, Carr draws on sources from Nietzsche to Herodotus to argue for a more subtle definition of history as 'an unending dialogue between the present and the past'.
