History: An Introduction to Theory and Method

Autor Peter Claus, John Marriott
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 iul 2023
This book provides an accessible introduction to a wide range of concerns that have preoccupied historians over time. Global in scope, it explores historical perspectives not only from historiography itself but from related areas such as literature, sociology, geography and anthropology which have entered into productive dialogues with history.
Clearly written and accessible, this third edition is fully revised with an updated structure and new areas of historical enquiry and themes added, including the history of emotions, video history and global pandemics. In all of this, the authors have attempted to think beyond the boundaries of the West and consider varied approaches to history. They do so by engaging with theoretical perspectives and methodologies that have provided the foundation for good historical practice. The authors analyse how historians can improve their skills by learning about the discipline of historiography, that is, how historians go about the task of exploring the past and determining where the line separating history from other disciplines, such as sociology or geography, runs.
History: An Introduction to Theory and Method 3ed is an essential resource for students of historical theory and method working at both an introductory and more advanced level.

Recenzii

"Peter Claus and John Marriott’s insightful book History: An Introduction to Theory, Method and Practice offers a most useful introduction to the study of history. The authors chart the development of the discipline from Herodotus to the present day in a clear, logical and concise manner, drawing on a wealth of fascinating illustrative material to map out key developments in the subject. This comprehensive and perceptive book is a must-read for students of history and should be made essential reading on any undergraduate or graduate theory and methods course."
Robert James, University of Portsmouth, UK

Sacha Davis, University of Newcastle, Australia
"A welcome revised and updated guide to the discipline of history, its variety, and practice. History is a comprehensive discussion of the development of the subject, different approaches of history, as well as a guide to techniques. It is an essential text for students that mixes historiography, theory, and methodology and is richly illustrated with examples."

Reviews for the first edition:
"A comprehensive introductory guide to the nature of historiography ... clearly written and set out ...it will be welcomed both by teachers and by their students."

Steve Rigby, University of Manchester, UK
"Students (and their teachers) will be grateful for this book. From Herodotus to postmodernism and internet History, Peter Claus and John Marriott's survey of how the human past has been studied and written about is impressive in both its range and its clarity. It can be dipped into when needed, while its totality provides a splendid overview of the richness and diversity that exist within the writing of History."

Bryan Ward-Perkins, Trinity College Oxford, UK
"Claus and Marriott introduce students to different aspects of historiography and methodology in a simple, appealing and engaging manner. This is a good book to support the study of History at university level."
