This volume of the Writing History series examines how theory has
contributed, both explicitly and implicitly, to the writing of
early modern history. It focuses upon neither abstract theory nor
historiography per se, but upon the practical application and
influence of theory in early modern scholarship. Throughout the
book, practicing historians address theories and concepts in the
light of their distinctive contribution to the period c. 1500 to c.
1800. Part 1 evaluates the contribution of certain influential
schools of thought by offering an accessible explanation of
particular theories, demonstrating their merits and demerits
through examples of historical writing about a range of topics
(from witchcraft to work, social relations to science, the family
to dreams, the English Civil War to the French Revolution).
Switching the focus on to key organizing themes such as the
economy, politics and religion, Part 2 demonstrates how various
theories and assumptions have informed the development of
historical work on these topics. By enhancing our comprehension of
each topic, this approach also offers a greater understanding of
the contours of early modern history as a discipline.
