A distinguished historian, Greene (humanities, Johns Hopkins U.) is also a unique and articulate witness to the evolution of historical studies from a position of sheer event description to its more contemporary extension into the deeper critical studies of methodology and culture. These collected 23 essays chronicle this growth of historiography through Greene's academic research and observation over a 40 year period, attending to the "new" history and its underlying assumptions of inclusivity, the limitations of the national-state paradigm for the study of American colonial history, and the emerging conception of the Atlantic world which has succeeded in undermining the assumed definitions of power early modern studies.
