Abstract: David Glassberg's book is a searching exploration of the divide that separates academic history from the sense of the past that all of us carry wherever we go?our sense
of having ancestors, of being from someplace, of being
connected to traditions. "Must there be such a
gulf
between scholarly and personal
uses of the past?" he asks.
