More DescriptionMaking sense of the past is always a challenge for the historian. Common to all periods and specialisms is the attempt to find new modes of historical narrative. This wide-ranging overview of recent trends and the changing agenda of historical questions compares new approaches - chronological, thematic, regional - not only in the various historical fields - ancient, medieval, modern and early modern history, political, social, economic and business history, maritime history, diaspora history and gender history - but also for human history as a whole. The result will be essential reading for all those concerned with current developments in historiography._x000D_ _x000D_ 'The chapters in this volume exhibit and clarify the state and status of our expanding and increasingly sophisticated field in ways that are simply top class.'_x000D_ - Patrick O'Brien FBA, Professor of Global Economic History, London School of Economics_x000D_
