Modern Historiography: An Introduction

Modern Historiography is the essential introduction to the history of historical writing. It explains the broad philosophical background to the different historians and historical schools of the modern era.

In a unique overview of modern historiography, the book includes surveys on the Enlightenment and Counter Enlightenment; Romanticism; the voice of Science and the process of secularization within Western intellectual thought; the influence of, and broadening contact with, the New World; the Annales school in France; and the effects of the repression and exile of the inter-war years and the Post-War `moods.' Modern Historiography provides a clear and concise account of this modern period of historical writing.
