What does it mean - and what might it yet come to mean - to write
'history' in the twenty-first century? History After Hobsbawm
brings together leading historians from across the globe to ask
what being an historian should mean in their particular fields of
study. Taking their cue from one of the previous century's greatest
historians, Eric Hobsbawm, and his interests across many periods
and places, the essays approach their subjects with an underlying
sense of what role an historian might seek to play, and attempt to
help twenty-first-century society understand 'how we got here'.
They present new work in their sub-fields but also point to how
their specialisms are developing, how they might further grow in
the future, and how different areas of focus might speak to the
larger challenges of history - both for the discipline itself and
for its relationship to other fields of academic inquiry. Like
Hobsbawn, the authors in this collection know that history matters.
They speak to both the past and the present and, in so doing,
introduce some of the most exciting new lines of research in a
broad array of subjects from the medieval period to the present.
