About the book >.>.> Historians who devise and impose such historical accounts are reacting to an understandable predisposition. Because societies continually evolve and historians are of course participants in that evolution they are often prompted to explain justify and periodically rewrite history as a more or less lineal progress to the present. This view or philosophy of history has been termed Whig history. Changes in historical perspective are also unavoidable to some extent. This is because the efforts of historians accompanied by the development of new more sophisticated techniques of historical enquiry cause the sum total of our knowledge of the past to increase. But modern soci- eties are not always more likely to rewrite their history than older societies. In no period of European history has such a sweeping change in its past been achieved than in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
