I had to read it in order to mark 30 book reports written by first-year college students for their Western Civ. class. Ah, the joys of being a TA. The students were all apparently terrified of this book, even though it's barely 100 pages long... but it's jam-packed with information, and very well put together. The book is an introduction to historiography (ie. the history of historical writing), so it's not comprehensive in any way. Anyone looking for a full overview of history's history should choose another book, but as an introduction, this little volume is informative, well-organized, and very readable. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone interested in the history of historical writing... which is just as fascinating as history itself, it turns out. Admittedly, I wish it had been just a tad longer... just a tad, to elaborate on a few areas such as the postmodern approach to history. But I suppose that's what all the other books listed in the reference section are for! Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

This is an interesting book that Gilderhus meant to be a very basic introduction to the study of history. He succeeded, he even included a short section on the importance of good writing in history which is the reason I decided to major in the subject, to learn to write. ( )
