"A chronicle is very different from history proper"
- Howard Nemerov
About this Quote
This quote by Howard Nemerov is referring to the difference in between a chronicle and history proper. A chronicle is a narrative account of events, typically in chronological order, and frequently including an ethical or spiritual viewpoint. It is frequently written from the point of view of a single person or group, and is typically biased. History proper, on the other hand, is a more unbiased account of occasions, frequently written by numerous authors and based upon proof. It is more comprehensive and frequently consists of analysis and interpretation of the occasions. In other words, a chronicle is a subjective account of occasions, while history correct is an objective account.
