In a dozen essays written between the 1970s and the 1990s, Haskell (history, Rice U.) advocates a moderate historicism that balances the force of perspective and pluralistic practices in a liberal democratic society with traditional distinctions between fact and fiction, scholarship and propaganda, and right and might. Historians cast nets into the past, he says, and what they reap depends heavily on the nature of the net, but without a net, they would capture nothing at all. His arguments are grounded in discussions of slavery, capitalism, academic freedom, John Stuart Mill, and other topics. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
