"In 1891 Frederick Jackson Turner published an essay in which he expressed the views of many historians. After noting the shift in interest then taking place from political to economic history, he wrote: "Each age tries to form its own conception of the past. Each age writes the history of the past anew with reference to the conditions uppermost in its own time" (200). In this he expressed a relativistic or perspectival understanding of the past. From this point of view—one with which I agree—our understanding of the past is relative to our own interests." [Author]
