| Summary: | "Exploring the art of crafting historical narratives during the early modern period, this volume reflects on the social and political implications of the diversification of research methods and writing practices associated with historical writing. The chapters consider historical texts ranging from those most concerned with the self, to those in which groups of writers collaborated to produce engaged narratives, to those focused on broader, disembodied concepts, such as language development and geographical features, using a significant mixture of textual references and personal experience. Studies from numerous parts of Europe and its colonial outposts are deliberately mixed, and writings by published scholars are juxtaposed with the manuscript testimonies of occasional memorialists"-- Provided by publisher. |
