Soft cover. Condition: New. 177 pages ; 23 cm. Summary:This volume is based on the proceedings of a conference organised in September 1994 under the title "The Past of History". It was organised by members of the Commission of Historiography affiliated to the Comite International des sciences Historiques and was sponsored by Kungl. Vitterhets Historie och Antikvitets Akademien (The Royal Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities) through the Natur and Kultur foundation at its disposal. There eleven papers were presented. The published papers want to illuminate the characteristics of the discipline of history from two main angles, the philosophical analysis of the intellectual basis for the study of history and the social analysis of the establishment of the discipline of history.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 232 pages ; 23 cm. This book presents perspectives on the development of historiography in the twentieth century. Eight authors bring forward their analyses of the characteristics of the scholarly development in the field of history, each in a part of the world. Some leading aspects are used all through the book, such as the development of professionalism in history, new trends in the theory of history and their impact on historiography, institutional changes, etc. Thus is presented the historiographical development in Japan, China, Australia, Russia, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Africa and North America. Even if this is not the whole of the world, the book more than any predecessor gives a worldwide perspective on historiography. A general discussion of the recent changes of historiography in different parts of the world has long been lacking. This book could serve to fil1 this lacuna, not least for the purposes of university courses. Two concluding chapters and an introduction bring forward general traits and specific characteristics.
