Looking Back: Living and Writing History by Oliver Macdonagh
Few historians have paid as much attention as MacDonagh to the importance of style, and this is reflected in all the elements of this book. It ends with his tribute to John Henry Newmans Apologia pro Vita Sua, a book that had been with me as a schoolboy, that had helped to shape me then, and since.
TOM DUNNE is Professor Emeritus of History at University College Cork. His Rebellions: Memoir, Memory and 1798 won the 2005 Ewart-Biggs Memorial Prize.
