Christopher Hill was famously taciturn and his surviving papers contain many gaps and silences. He was also reluctant to discuss method and theory directly, or at length. In this paper Mike Braddick discusses the problems this posed in writing a book about Hill’s intellectual life, with particular reference to a central puzzle—his political and methodological commitments after 1956.
