Overview
History as a subject never stands still. It is always changing its philosophies, its contours, its leading questions, its politics, its conceptual status and its methodologies. The study of history has generated an enormous literature devoted to historiography, philosophy of history, and historical method. The first edition of this book in 1988 rapidly established itself as an indispensable guide to published work in this field. This second, much-expanded and revised edition brings the bibliography up to date and takes account of the growing interest in social history, gender studies, history, and film, and history's changing relations with other disciplines.

An annotated guide to sources on historiography, now that it has become a recognized discipline of its own, with graduate courses and all. A long general section is followed by periodic sections from ancient history through the 20th century; the focus is on Europe and her colonies. Richardson (King Alfred's College, Winchester) has updated the 1988 edition to reflect changes in direction the field has taken, especially with the death of several early pillars. Only authors, editors, and compilers are indexed. Distributed by Palgrave. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
