Content:
"In the third and final volume of his monumental survey of Western historiography, Donald Kelley covers the twentieth century, especially Europe. As in the first two volumes, the author discusses historical methods and ideas of all sorts to provide a detailed map of historical learning. Here he carries the survey forward to our own times, confronting directly the challenges of postmodernism and historical narrative. Kelley offers highly original discussions of historians of the last half century (including friends and mentors), the "linguistic turn," the "end of history," the philosophy of history, and various new methods of histories.
Content:
"The book focuses first on the state of the art of history in France, Germany, Britain, and the United States on the eve of World War I. Kelley then traces the most important historiographical issues and developments historians have encountered in the twentieth century. With the completion of this trilogy, Kelley presents the only comprehensive modern survey of historical research and writing. He provides the unparalleled portrait of the rich variety of historical method along with an insider's view of the challenges of capturing history on the written page."--BOOK JACKET
