RESEARCH METHODS FOR THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES GENERAL EDITOR: GABRIELE GRIFFIN Designed to serve postgraduate students and academics teaching research methods, this series provides discipline-specific volumes which explore the possibilities and limitations of a range of research methods applicable to the subject in question. A wide-ranging critical survey of methods for historical research at all levels Historians have become increasingly sensitive to social and cultural theory since the 1980s, yet the actual methods by which research is carried out in History have been largely taken for granted. Research Methods for History encourages those researching the past to think creatively about the wide range of methods currently in use, to understand how these methods are used and what historical insights they can provide. This updated new edition has been expanded to cover not only sources and methods that are well-established in History, such as archival research, but also those that have developed recently, such as digital history research. The themes of the different chapters have been selected to reflect new trends in the subject, including landscape studies, material culture and ethics. Every chapter presents new insights and perspectives and opens researchers' minds to the expanding possibilities of historical research. Key Features. International scope. Encourages methodological comparison across time periods. Encourages historians at all levels to think critically and creatively. Transferable methodological skills useful for English Studies, Geography, Archaeology and Cultural Studies Simon Gunn is a Professor of Urban History in the Centre for Urban History at the University of Leicester.
