    Book SynopsisWhy bother with history? Keith Jenkins has an answer. He helps us re-think the end of history, as signalled by postmodernity. Readers may disagree with him, but he never fails to provoke debate about the future of the past.Joanna Bourke, Professor of History, Birkbeck CollegeKeith Jenkinsâ work on historical theory is renowned; this collection presents the essential elements of his work over the last fifteen years.Here we see Jenkins address the difficult and complex question of defining the limits of history. The collection draws together the key pieces of his work in one handy volume, encompassing the ever controversial issue of postmodernism and history, questions on the end of history and radical history into the future. Exchanges with Perez Zagorin and Michael Coleman further illuminate the level of debate that has surrounded postmodernism, and which continues to do so. An extended introduction and abstracts which contextualize each piece, together with a foreword by Hayden White and an afterword by Alun Munslow, make this collection essential reading for all those interested in the theory and practice of history and its development over the last few decades.Trade Review'Why bother with history?

  • Taylor & Francis Herodotos the Historian Routledge Revivals His Problems Methods and Originality

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe work of Herodotos of Halikarnassos, âthe father of historyâ, differs in many ways from that of modern historians, and it poses special problems to the student. Herodotosâ history of the Persian Wars, written in the second half of the fifth century BC, was both the first attempt at a comprehensive history and the first lengthy prose narrative in the Western cultural tradition. There was an almost total lack of written historical evidence in Greece at the time, and the audiences who paid to hear Herodotosâ lectures also expected historical dramatizations, and enjoyed descriptive material and anecdotes that today would be relegated to notes.In Herodotus the Historian, first published in 1985, K.H. Waters offers a comprehensive introduction to Herodotusâ background, aims, and methods. In a lively, informative style, this work offers a level-headed approach to an historian who has excited some extreme reactions and incited controversy among modern readers.Table of ContentsForeword; Abbreviations; ‘Life’ of Herodotus 1. Introduction 2. The Intellectual Background 3. The Education of a Historian 4. Selection of Subject-Matter 5. Structure of the History 6. The Herodotean Narrative 7. Sources of Information 8. Religious and Moral Attitudes 9. Herodotean Prejudices 10. The Importance of Individuals: Characterisation 11. Strengths and Weaknesses 12. The Writer and the Historian; Select Bibliography; Index
