Luke O’Sullivan, whose own study of Oakeshott on History was published last year, has now edited an anthology of essays by Oakeshott, most of which have not been previously published.

The 30 essays in What is History? span the gamut of Oakeshott’s writing career and address not just the philosophy of history but also politics and political ideas, education and what may be called Oakeshott’s aesthetics.
