A pioneering work that presents an effective, well-organized, and concise account of the development of historiography in Western culture.

Neither a handbook nor an encyclopedia, this up-to-date third edition of Ernst Breisach's Historiography narrates and interprets the development of historiography from its origins in Greek poetry to the present, with compelling sections on postmodernism, deconstructionism, African-American history, women's history, microhistory, the Historikerstreit, cultural history, and more. The definitive look at the writing of history by a historian, Historiography provides key insights into some of the most important issues, debates and innovations in modern historiography.

"A masterful treatise... Breisach's comprehensive coverage of the subject and his clear presentation of the issues and the complexity of an evolving discipline easily make his work the best of its kind." -- Lester D. Stephens, American Historical Review

"Breisach's judgment is acute and fair... There is nothing comparable in scope and depth." -- David Keymer, Library Journal
