HIS 225 - The Historian’s Craft



Historiography is the study of the writing of history. First and foremost it is the history of history (of how professional historians have written, and write, on a given topic). This course explores the major schools of historical thought and poses questions about the nature of sources, bias and perspective, and the construction of an archive. The course also looks at how historical monographs are constructed and organized. Students are expected to show historiographical command of a narrow topic in their specialization and produce an annotated bibliography.
