This title was first published in 2000. Practised since the Middle
Ages, it is only over the course of the last century that English
local history attained professional status. This text explores the
rich historiography of the subject by presenting essays which show
how it has been defined, approached and practised at different
stages of its development from the 16th century to the present day.
Essays on individual historians - Camden, Thoroton, Hasted and
Milner - stand side by side with others documenting general trends.
the editor's concluding essay offers comparisons and contrasts
between the concept and practice of local history in England with
the developments in the USA.
