Fifty Key Works of History and Historiography introduces some of
the most important works ever written by those who have sought to
understand, capture, query and interpret the past. The works
covered include texts from ancient times to the present day and
from different cultural traditions ensuring a wide variety of
schools, methods and ideas are introduced. Each of the fifty texts
represents at least one of six broad categories:
- early examples of historiography (e.g. Herodotus and
Augustine)
- non-western works (e.g. Shaddad and Fukuzawa)
- ?Critical? historiography (e.g. Mabillon and Ranke)
- history of minorities, neglected groups or subjects (e.g. Said
and Needham)
- broad sweeps of history (e.g. Mumford and Hofstadter)
- problematic or unconventional historiography (e.g. Foucault and
White).
Each of the key works is introduced in a short essay written in
a lively and engaging style which provides the ideal preparation
for reading the text itself. Complete with a substantial
introduction to the field, this book is the perfect starting point
for anyone new to the study of history or historiography.
