Among all of the academic disciplines‚ history stands as one of the most controversial. This is due to the inherently interpretive nature of the field‚ one that has long resulted in heated debates for many historians. As one would expect that the study of events long passed to be more firmly rooted in unchallengeable fact rather than disputable opinion‚ this presents a bit of quandary. To many‚ there appears to be little merit in making an effort to understand events that have been debated ad nauseam

Arthur Marwick shows three levels of history in his work; first‚ it can imply the entire human past as it actually happened. Secondly‚ history connotes man’s effort to describe and interpret to the past. This is the sense‚ which comes nearer to the original Greek meaning ‘inquiry’. The third meaning shows the systematic study of history‚ history as a scientific order. D.B.Macaulay‚ however‚ treats history in a different way. He holds that: History falls alternately under the sole an absolute dominion

Rise of Naturalism in Manuscript The use of naturalism during the Northern Renaissance began appearing in illuminated manuscripts in the 14th century before it was seen in any major paintings of that time.

By portraying the differences between these three characters‚ Strindberg emphasizes the elements of naturalism. One of the major themes within naturalism is seeking truth and simplicity. Strindberg expresses his central message that when class is an issue and people attempt to change who they are‚ conflict is inevitable. Julie‚ the daughter of the count who owns the manor‚ is

In The Red Badge of Courage‚ nature helps shape the youth into the man‚ which he has aspired to be. Naturalism is very evident in London’s “To Build a Fire”. The entire story happens
