In The Modern Historiography Reader, Adam Budd guides readers
through European and North American developments in history-writing
since the eighteenth century. Starting with Enlightenment history
and moving through subjects such as moral history, national
history, the emergence of history as a profession, and the impact
of scientific principles on history, he then looks at some of the
most important developments in twentieth-century historiography
such as social history, traumatic memory, postcolonialism, gender
history, postmodernism, and the history of material objects. This
is the only book that brings together historiographical writing
from anthropology, literary theory, philosophy, psychology, and
sociology - as well as history. Each of the thirteen thematic
sections begins with a clear introduction that familiarizes readers
with the topics and articles, setting them in their wider contexts.
They explain what historiography is, how historians' perspectives
and sources determine the kinds of questions they ask, and discuss
how social and ideological developments have shaped historical
writing over the past three centuries. With a glossary of critical
terms and reading lists for each section, The Modern Historiography
Reader: Western Sources is the perfect introduction to modern
historiography.
