No matter how practised we are at history, it always humbles us. No matter how often we visit the past, it always surprises us.
Winner of the Ernest Scott Prize and Shortlisted for the NSW Premier's Literary Award for Non-fiction
'A rare feat of imagination and generosity' -Mark McKenna
With every sentence they write, historians must walk the tightrope between discipline and imagination, empathy and evidence. In this landmark work, eminent historian and award-winning author Tom Griffiths shares his passion for the fascinating, complex craft of history - or, as he calls it, the art of time travel.
In fourteen portraits, Griffiths illuminates how historians such as Inga Clendinnen, Judith Wright, Geoffrey Blainey and Henry Reynolds have approached their craft. In prose both earthy and elegant, he shows the new insights they have brought to Australian history, and in so doing reshapes our shared knowledge of this continent.
The Art of Time Travel is an exhilarating book that will forever change the way you think of Australia's past.
'If the past is a foreign country, Tom Griffiths makes the perfect travelling companion. Let him be your eyes and ears on our shared history. Most of all, follow his heart.' -Clare Wright
