Daniel Woolf (° 1958) definitely is a specialist when it comes to the history of historiography. He published the doorstopping “A Global History of History” in 2011, and reworked and abridged this book into this “Concise” version, aimed at undergraduates. It has become a solid overview, of course with a lot of names, which gives it a rather encyclopaedic outlook. Woolf's merit is that he also tries to portray non-Western historiography. But let's be honest: he doesn't quite succeed. I estimate that about 4/5th of this book is still Western historiography, or historiography inspired by it. How could it be otherwise, you might say.

This short history of history is an ideal introduction for those studying or teaching the subject as part of courses on the historian's craft, historical theory and method, and historiography. Spanning the earliest known forms of historical writing in the ancient Near East right through to the present and covering developments in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, it also touches on the latest topics and debates in the field, such as 'Big History', 'Deep History' and the impact of the electronic age. It features timelines listing major dynasties or regimes throughout the world alongside historiographical developments; guides to key thinkers and seminal historical works; further reading; a glossary of terms; and sample questions to promote further debate at the end of each chapter. This is a truly global account of the process of progressive intercultural contact that led to the hegemony of Western historiographical methods. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
