How was the past understood in religious, social and political terms? And in what ways does the diversity of historical writing in this period mask underlying commonalities in narrating the past? The volume, which assembles 28 contributions from leading historians, tackles these and other questions. Part I provides comprehensive overviews of the development of historical writing in societies that range from the Korean Peninsula to north-west Europe, which together highlight regional and cultural distinctiveness. Part II complements the first part by taking a thematic and comparative approach; it includes essays on genre, warfare, and religion (amongst others) which address common concerns of historians working in this liminal period before the globalizing forces of the early modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Oxford History of History Writing is a fundamental publication on international historiography traditions, its problems, and key actors. * Zaur Gasimov, Jahrbücher für Geschichte Osteuropas *\u003cbr\u003eNobody should venture into a part of world history new to them without consulting it. * History Today *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART I: THE TRADITIONS OF HISTORICAL WRITING, 400-1400; PART II: MODES OF REPRESENTING THE PAST","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51017631105367,"sku":"9780199236428","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780199236428.jpg?v=1750774170","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-oxford-history-of-historical-writing-9780199236428","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
