It offers a stimulating new perspective on the unity, or disunity, of historical scholarship as it existed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume offers a stimulating new perspective on the history of historical studies. Through the prism of 'scholarly personae', it explores why historians care about attitudes or dispositions that they consider necessary for studying the past, yet often disagree about what virtues, skills, or competencies are most important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore specifically, the volume explains why models of virtue known as 'personae' have always been contested, yet can also prove remarkably stable, especially with regard to their race, class, and gender assumptions. Covering historical studies across Europe, North America, Africa, and East Asia, \u003ci\u003eHow to be a Historian\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal not only to historians of historiography but to all historians who occasionally wonder: What kind of a historian do I want to be?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849292009708,"sku":"9781526156037","price":79.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10067883482731.jpg?v=1759034477","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/how-to-be-a-historian-9781526156037","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
