Reviews

No history educator has made a more compelling case for the importance of interpretive virtues than Jon Levinson. Drawing on a wealth of examples, Teaching Historical Narratives shows that historical interpretation requires openness, sensitivity, courage, and humility on the historian’s part. -- Herman Paul, author of Historians’ Virtues: From Antiquity to the Twenty-First Century, Leiden University, The Netherlands
