What is Historiography : Ancient, Medieval, and Modern, Third Edition about?
<div>In this pioneering work, Ernst Breisach presents an effective, well-organized, and concise account of the development of historiography in Western culture. Neither a handbook nor an encyclopedia, this up-to-date third edition narrates and interprets the development of historiography from its origins in Greek poetry to the present, with compelling sections on postmodernism, deconstructionism, African-American history, women’s history, microhistory, the <i>Historikerstreit</i>, cultural history, and more. The definitive look at the writing of history by a historian, <i>Historiography</i> provides key insights into some of the most important issues, debates and innovations in modern historiography.<br> <br> Praise for the first edition: “Breisach’s comprehensive coverage of the subject and his clear presentation of the issues and the complexity of an evolving discipline easily make his work the best of its kind.”—Lester D. Stephens, <i>American Historical Review</i></div>
