Opis

Sources are the bedrock of history. But over the past few years the question of 'what is a historical source' has become an increasingly prominent concern. In History Beyond the Text, Sarah Barber and Corinna Peniston-Bird, open up the discussion on sources to those beyond the 'traditional' ones.

Recenzje

‘This book has a good feel to it. Pictures, diagrams and cartoons are used effectively and the chapters are brief and to the point. Result – my awareness of the sources is enhanced, and I can now hope to become a better historian.’ – SATH History Teaching Review
