Samenvatting	"This is virtually the only one-volume survey that covers the whole course of historical writing, from the earliest picture writing to our own era. In addition, it deals fully with the relation of historical writing to the cultural background and the forces that condition its evolution. Beginning with the early picture writing, Dr. Barnes discusses Greek and Roman historians, early Christian and medieval writers, humanists, ecclesiastical histories during the Reformation and counter - reformation, the rise of cultural and social history, romantic philosophies of history, the development of critical historical scholarship, historical writing under the influence of liberalism and nationalism, the perspectives of the historian, Kulturgeschichte, the "new history" and the future... (Lees verder) of historical writing, etc. For each of these periods and movements, Dr Barnes characterizes the intellectual background, shows how the historical writing was related to its parent culture, points out dominant traits in the historical writing, indicates the advances in historical science, and makes clear the contributions of scores of major and minor individual historians. For this new edition, Dr Barnes brought the bibliography and footnotes up to date and inserted commentary on historical works of genuine importance that had been published since 1938. As a guide and text for courses in historiography and historical method, or as an introduction to the subject for the general reader, this new edition of a standard work is indispensable'. -- Publisher.
