Reviews

This relatively slim volume tells the story of Western historiography since the Renaissance, keeping a clear distance from the usual progressive story line. The volume is well written; the content, reliable; and the bibliography, well selected. Summing up: Recommended. -- E.A. Breisach, emeritus, Western Michigan University * CHOICE *
