Críticas
"Dr. Boldt's study has established that when it comes to Irish history Ranke was not an unbiased and 'objective' observer but instead interpreted Irish history along nationalist lines. Undoubtedly this was due to the personal influence of Ranke's Irish wife, Clarissa, and her wider family, namely the Graveses. Dr. Boldt's work is the most significant contribution to Ranke studies in forty years and it is also an important contribution to the debate on what constitutes good historical practice." - Dr. John Bradley Senior Lecturer Department of History National University of Ireland, Maynooth "It is not surprising that Ranke's private life encompassed a shared cultural identity, and that he was joined in this European way of thinking by Clarissa Graves, as has been clearly demonstrated in the study provided by Andreas Boldt." - Prof. Dr. Jurgen Elvert Professor of Modern History University of Cologne "I have no doubt that Dr. Boldt's book will make a major impact on the historiography of all three countries involved - Ireland, Great Britain and Germany." - Prof. Tim Blanning FBA Professor of Modern European History University of Cambridge"
Reseña del editor
This book investigates Leopold von Ranke's concept of objectivity by looking at his private life and how it influenced his historical writing, primarily in regards to his marriage, examining his treatment of Irish history as contrasted with his account of English history. His wedding to Clarissa Graves, an Irish woman, in 1843 not only changed his whole life, it also influenced the writing of his books. Hundreds of spontaneous letters of Clarissa to her relatives in England and Ireland contain details of contacts, meetings, information on documents that were copied in archives, descriptions of research trips, and meetings with statesmen which reveal how Ranke worked, collected his material, and eventually composed his books.
