'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.' - Patrick O'Brien FBA, Professor of Global Economic History, London School of Economics; 'Among the mass of historiographical volumes that have landed on my desk in the past few years, The New Ways of History stands out for its innovative and often seminal approach. In part thematic and topical, and in part chronological, but always thoughtful and provocative, the essays collectively open up new approaches to the writing of history and should stimulate historians to think more carefully about how they approach the past. It is a good read that belongs on the bookshelf of every scholar who values new ways of thinking about their craft.' - Lewis R. Fischer, Professor of History, Memorial University of Newfoundland; 'The major advantage of the book is the logic which predominates in its own building. We have lots of books which try to emphasize the new tendencies in historiography in more or less theoretical terms, but, as far as I know, we have very few books which tend to approach historiography not as one and unified discipline but as a sum of sub-disciplines, each having its own characteristics. This book constitutes an effort to examine changes in historiography, not only in the domain of its own construction, or of research but in teaching as well, and in the relations of the historian with current reality, an issue which is becoming more and more crucial in contemporary historiography.' - Konstantinos Kostis, Professor of Economic and Social History, University of Athens
