Description

Book Synopsis
A primer on the complexities of history writing, and writing history. It challenges the view of historiography as an esoteric subject by presenting an overview of the history of historical writing from the Renaissance to the present, focusing primarily on the US and Europe.

Trade Review
This relatively slim volume tells the story of Western historiography since the Renaissance, keeping a clear distance from the usual progressive story line. The volume is well written; the content, reliable; and the bibliography, well selected. Summing up: Recommended. -- E.A. Breisach, emeritus, Western Michigan University * CHOICE *

Table of Contents
1: Science and Religion in Renaissance and Early Modern Historical Writing; 2: Enlightenment and Philosophical History; 3: Romantic and Critical History; 4: From Scientific History to the New History; 5: Social History, Narrative, and the Problem of Objectivity; 6: History and Historiography in Global Perspective; Appendix: Major European and American Historians.
