John Russell Vincent (born 20 December 1937) is a British historian and a former Fellow of Peterhouse, Cambridge. He was Professor of Modern History, and later History, at the University of Bristol from 1970 until his retirement when he became Visiting Professor at the University of East Anglia. In the 1980s he was a controversial columnist for ''The Times'' and ''The Sun'' newspapers for four years, until students from the University of Bristol disrupted some of his lectures at his university and forced him to take two terms unpaid leave, but he continued his journalism and has also written for many other publications, including book reviews and articles for ''New Society'', ''The New Statesman'', the ''Listener'', ''The Spectator'', ''The London Review of Books'', the ''Observer'', the ''Sunday Times'', and the ''Guardian''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Author's response to his critics )〕 In 1995 Oxford University Press refused at the last minute to publish a book on history by Vincent, having commissioned and overseen much of its writing. In his book on historiography, ''An Intelligent Person's Guide to History'', Vincent notes that if we went ''solely'' by the documentary standards most prized by modern historians nothing would be more historically certain than that there ''were'' witches in the Middle Ages, given that we have a large volume of solemnly sworn testimony in original documents. ==Publications== *John Vincent, ''The Formation of the Liberal Party, 1857–68'' (Constable, 1966; second edition, 1980). * * * * * * * * * * * * *John Vincent (ed.), ''The Derby Diaries 1878–1893'' (Leopard's Head Press, 2003). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Vincent (historian)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
