This volume presents an analysis of the moods and trends in historical writing throughout its phases of development, and explores the assumptions and procedures that have formed the creation of historical perspectives. Contributed by a panel of academics, each essay aims to convey an international, wide-angled view of the ideas, traditions and institutions that lie behind the contemporary urgency of world history. The thematic structure of the text enables each topic to be read selectively or sequentially.
