this paper is based only on the first three chapters of the book The Landscape of History: How Historians Map The Past by John Lewis Gaddis.
these 4 questions need to be answered in the paper: 1) How does John Lewis Gaddis in the first three chapters of The Landscape of History make a case for what he calls “historical consciousness”? What, for him, constitutes the ideal relationship between process and presentation? If the goal of narrative is to provide the best fit between reality and representation, how does a historian, according to Gaddis, accomplish this? What are some of the biggest problems or tensions facing a writer of this sort?
