Reviews

The Oxford History of History Writing is a fundamental publication on international historiography traditions, its problems, and key actors. Zaur Gasimov, Jahrbucher fur Geschichte Osteuropas highly informative and thoughtful LASZLO KONTLER, English Historical Review Woolf has facilitated the critical surveys of materials that readers need to consider the circumstances that have shaped historical thought and practice on a truly global scale. Compiled by an international team of some 150 contributors, this series has already begun to stimulate new research and innovative teaching within and beyond the west, addressing if not correcting, any worries over the intellectual and cultural range of historical practice beyond Europe.
