About this title: In this pioneering work, Ernst Breisach presents an effective, well-organized, and concise account of the development of historiography in Western culture. Neither a handbook nor an encyclopedia, this updated second edition narrates and interprets the development of the discipline from its origins in Greek poetry to the present, examining recent developments in black history, deconstructionism, postmodernism, women's history, and more.

"A comprehensive overview of how history was perceived and recorded in different periods and what direct or indirect forces were brought on bear in this decision making process. Not a dry book by any standard and is accessable to readers not fully familiar with the study of history itself. One of the better books of its kind. Certainly one of the better historiography books I read. The author keeps his opinion to himself, or to a minimum, so one is not confused between what the author believes the historian really meant to say and what the historian actually stated."
