Bloomsbury The New Ways of History Developments in Historiography by Gelina Harlaftis and Nikos Karapidakis and Kostas Sbonias and Vaiopoulos
Making sense of the past is always a challenge for the historian. Common to all periods and specialisms is the attempt to find new modes of historical narrative. This wide-ranging overview of recent trends and the changing agenda of historical questions compares new approaches - chronological, thematic, regional - not only in the various historical fields of ancient, medieval, modern and early modern history, political, social, economic and business history, maritime history, diaspora history and gender history, but also for human history as a whole. The result will be essential reading for all those concerned with current developments in historiography.
