New History and the Old

"For this updated edition of her acclaimed work on historians and the writing of history, Gertrude Himmelfarb adds four insightful and provocative essays dealing with changes in the discipline over the past twenty years. In examining the effects of postmodernism, the illusions of cosmopolitanism, A. J. P. Taylor and revisionism, and Francis Fukuyama's "end of history," Himmelfarb enriches her exploration of the myriad ways - new and old - in which historians make sense of the past."--BOOK JACKET.Himmelfarb, Gertrude is the author of 'New History and the Old' with ISBN 9780674615816 and ISBN 0674615816.
