English historians
One subject that Elliott pursues that would prove useful as a topic of discussion, analysis, and evaluation in the classroom deals with the differences between the Spanish colonies of Central and South America and those of the English colonies to the north. $35.00 (Cloth). The traditional approach to history emphasizes the themes of cause and effect, change and continuity over time. The discipline of world history has provided the underscore of global and regional context along with cultural interaction and diffusion. Look up Elliott in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Elliot (also spelled Eliot, Elliott, Eliott and Elyot) is a personal name which can serve as either a surname or a given name. Although the given name was historically given to males, females named Elliot have increased from 414 in 2009 to 770 in 2013. The origin of the surname is obscure, perhaps due to much of the genealogy of the Eliott clan being burnt in the destruction of the castle at Stobs in 1712 AD. © Sir John Elliott. Notable as one of the first English historians to work in the field of Spanish history, Elliott also played an important role as a non-Marxist member of the board of Past and Present, as well as being an early advocate of the practice of comparative history. They’ve lost any notion of the complexities of the past, and the fact that statesmen were struggling with similar problems in the 17th century as in the late 20th – threats to the unity of a nation state that was moving towards the form of development that it would reach in the 19th century. And I think it’s terribly important for the historian to take the alternative point of view to the fashionable one, and present the options. For instance, the assumption in much of the 19th and 20th centuries was that the centralised nation state was the culmination of a millennium of European history. Project Officer: This interview is being conducted for the ‘Making history: the discipline in perspective’ project, and the project officer Danny Millum will be speaking to Sir John Elliott about his experience of and views on changes in the discipline and in the academic profession of history. And I think it’s terribly important for the historian to take the alternative point of view to the fashionable one, and present the options. For instance, the assumption in much of the 19th and 20th centuries was that the centralised nation state was the culmination of a millennium of European history. But it’s indicative of what’s been happening to European history in this country, and this I think is a disaster because I believe that one of the great contributions of British historians of the 20th century to history and the historical profession has been their willingness to look beyond the British Isles. And I think it’s terribly important for the historian to take the alternative point of view to the fashionable one, and present the options. For instance, the assumption in much of the 19th and 20th centuries was that the centralised nation state was the culmination of a millennium of European history. Sir John Elliott: Yes. I got a scholarship in modern languages (French and German) to go to Cambridge in 1948. I went up there after military service in 1949, and decided before arrival that I would rather study history than modern languages.
