Abstract
First Class Answers in History (Bennett, 1974) is a collection of reflections by seven Cambridge tutors on the characteristics of outstanding essay answers in the University’s final examinations. In his editorial introduction to the volume, Bennett demolishes the notion that there is any “hidden mystery about good history writing” (p. 6). He contends: Excellence in historical writing consists of simple and solid virtues, not of facile tricks and gaudy gadgets. It can therefore be appreciated by all who have the wit and the diligence to seek it; it is no monopoly of those who possess superior talents (1974, p.2).
