The SAGE Handbook of Historical Theory
Nancy Partner and Sarah Foot (eds)
This exciting new handbook introduces the foundations of modern historical theory and the applications of theory to a full range of sub-fields of historical research, covering discussions of modernity, empiricism, deconstruction, narrative and postmodernity in the continuing evolution of the historical discipline. Chapters are written by leading academics from around the world and cover a wide array of specialized areas, including social history, intellectual history, gender, memory, psychoanalysis and cultural history. The influence of major thinkers such as Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault and Hayden White is fully examined.
