Subject: to write with one eye or possibly both on posterity Among contemporaries, first and indispensable are the more-or-less unconscious sources: letters, diaries, memoirs, autobiographies, newspapers and periodicals, business and government documents. These are historical raw material, not history. Their authors may be writing with one eye or possibly both on posterity, but that does notmake them historians. To perform that function requires a view from the outside and a conscious craft. |
