Robert Rosenstone was among the first 'postmodern' historians, and
remains one of the most renowned. In this honest, revealing and
often funny memoir, he shows us how he got there and why.
Adventures of a Postmodern Historian chronicles Rosenstone's
research journeys over half a century. Beginning in the 1960s, his
offbeat trajectory took him on adventures through the police states
of Franco Spain and the Soviet Union, to the Shinto shrines and Zen
temples of Japan and ultimately to Hollywood. Alongside his own
memoirs, Rosenstone reflects upon developments and changes within
the realm of professional history, which in turn reflect the
social, cultural, and intellectual shifts of the late 20th century.
A pioneer of experimental and creative history, he suggests how the
experience of the historian can inflect the written history, and
provides a defence of innovation in historical writing that is both
intellectually rigorous and entertaining. In doing so he offers a
window into the state of history today - and points to exciting new
ways of writing the past. This is a book about the craft of
history, about both doing research and writing it. It should be
required reading for all historians.
