Historical Analysis: Contemporary Approaches to Clio's Craft

The major purpose of this collection is to provide an elementary introduction to historical method for the average undergraduate or beginning graduate student. Historical method here refers to the ways in which historical problems may be approached and the various techniques that are used to organize and interpret mounds of raw data. Nineteen methodological concepts are presented, with discussion and examples. This is both a text on methodology and an anthology of methodologically significant work.
