Demystifying the subject with clarity and verve,
History: An Introduction to Theory, Method and Practice familiarizes the reader with the varied spectrum of historical approaches in a balanced, comprehensive and engaging manner. Global in scope, and covering a wide range of topics from the ancient and medieval worlds to the twenty-first century, it explores historical perspectives not only from historiography itself, but from related areas such as literature, sociology, geography and anthropology.
Clearly written, accessible and student-friendly, this second edition is fully updated throughout to include:
An increased spread of case studies from beyond Europe, especially from American and imperial histories.
New chapters on important and growing areas of historical inquiry, such as environmental history and digital history
Expanded sections on political, cultural and social history
More discussion of non-traditional forms of historical representation and knowledge like film, fiction and video games.
Accompanied by a new companion website (www.routledge.com/cw/claus) containing valuable supporting material for students and instructors such as discussion questions, further reading and web links, this book is an essential introduction for all students of historical theory and method.
