. Elton presented his writings on the nature and methods of
history not as philosophy, but as an account of what working historians like
himself did. To make such an account coherent and convincing it was necessary to
explicate and defend the fundamental assumptions underpinning the discipline's
traditional practices. The cumulative result of Elton's efforts was a sustained
defence of what may be called a human action account of the past: the view that
history was not the result of social structures, objective forces or (as some
postmodernists argue) linguistic discourses, but of autonomous human agents and
that to explain and comprehend the past, historians must provide an account of
those agents' actions in their own terms, as they were lived and played out at

had a very simple starting point: in the past there were people like us,
reasoning people with thoughts, feelings, ambitions, concerns and problems.
These people lived and made choices and what they did produced the events,
effects, creations and results which is history. When people acted in the past,
exercised their will and made choices they made their futures and created our
present. History for Elton was explicable, but the varieties, complexities and
vagaries of human reasoning and thinking in diverse situations made it
unpredictable. -
