This extensive conversation provides behind-the-scenes insights into how an undergraduate encounter with a 17th-century painting of The Count-Duke Olivares led John Elliott on a lifelong odyssey to study the history of Spain, Europe and the Americas in the early modern period to become one of the greatest Spanish historians of our age. This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, Two Cheers for Objectivity, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter: I. Beginnings - The benefits of travel II. In Search of Objectivity - Sentimental dangers III. Past and Present - How to revivify yourself IV. Circumventing Obstacles - The benefits of pressing on V. Doing History - Comparing, connecting and writing well VI. The Power of Imagination - Surprise tests and non-barking dogs VII. Decline - What it means, exactly VIII. The Impact of Technology - Strengths and weaknesses IX. Going Global - Opportunities and challenges X. History's Due - Beyond the theme park About Ideas Roadshow Conversations Series: This book is part of an expanding series of 100+ Ideas Roadshow conversations, each one presenting a wealth of candid insights from a leading expert in a focused yet informal setting to give non-specialists a uniquely accessible window into frontline research and scholarship that wouldn't otherwise be encountered through standard lectures and textbooks.
