Misbegotten Muses: History and Anti-History

By Richard C. Poulsen

Misbegotten Muses is an analysis of the historical method, an illumination of history's failure to provide insight into crucial human events. The book offers alternate methods of interpretation, and deals with a broad range of subjects, from Cotton Mather, to The Donner Party, to James Agee. From symbol, to myth, to science-and-religion.
