Beschreibungen/Notizen

• A wide-ranging critical survey of methods for historical research at all levelsHistorians have become increasingly sensitive to social and cultural theory since the 1980s, yet the actual methods by which research is carried out in History have been largely taken for granted. Research Methods for History encourages those researching the past to think creatively about the wide range of methods currently in use, to understand how these methods are used and what historical insights they can provide.This updated new edition has been expanded to cover not only sources and methods that are well-established in History, such as archival research, but also those that have developed recently, such as the impact of digital history research. The themes of the different chapters have been selected to reflect new trends in the subject, including landscape studies, material culture and ethics. Every chapter presents new insights and perspectives and will open researchers’ minds to the expanding possibilities of historical research.Key featuresInternational scopeEncourages methodological comparison across time-periodsEncourages historians at all levels to think critically and creativelyTransferable methodological skills useful for English Studies, Geography, Archaeology and Cultural StudiesContributorsKrista Cowman, University of LincolnLucy Faire, University of LeicesterWilliam Gallois, University of ExeterJo Guldi, Brown UniversitySimon Gunn, University of LeicesterLudmilla Jordanova, Durham UniversityPrashant Kidambi, University of LeicesterMichelle T.
