Definition of History and English Literature

                Five definition of history by experts

·         History is the study of the human past as it is described in the written documents left by human beings. Here are a collection of more history definitions.—Kris Hirst

·         History is a narration of the events which have happened among mankind, including an account of the rise and fall of nations, as well as of other great changes which have affected the political and social condition of the human race.—John J. Anderson. 1876

·         History is not what you thought. It is what you remember. All other history defeats itself.—W. C. Sellar and R. J. Yeatman. 1930 Preface, 1066 and All That.

·         The first foundations of all history are the recitals of the fathers to the children, transmitted afterward from one generation to another; at their origin they are at the very most probable, when they do not shock common sense, and they lose one degree of probability in each generation.—Voltaire [1694-1778]. The Philosophical Dictionary. translated 1924 by H.I. Woolf

·         History is and should be a science. .... History is not the accumulation of events of every kind which happened in the past. It is the science of human societies.—Fustel de Coulanges

Five definition of English literature by expert

·         Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. — C. S. Lewis


·         The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.  — Oscar Wilde


·         Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become. —C. S. Lewis


·         Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness. —Helen Keller

·         The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself. —Jim Rohn
