ISBN10: 0199236429, ISBN13: 9780199236428, [publisher: Oxford University Press, Oxford] Hardcover Hardcover. How was history written in Europe and Asia between 400-1400? How was the past understood in religious, social and political terms? And in what ways does the diversity of historical writing in this period mask underlying commonalities in narrating the past? The volume, which assembles 28 contributions from leading historians, tackles these and other questions. Part I provides comprehensive overviews of the development of historical writing in societies that rangefrom the Korean Peninsula to north-west Europe, which together highlight regional and cultural distinctiveness. Part II complements the first part by taking a thematic and comparative approach; itincludes essays on genre, warfare, and religion (amongst others) which address common concerns of historians working in this liminal period before the globalizing forces of the early modern world. A collection of essays from leading historians which explores the ways in which history was written in Europe and Asian between 400 and 1400.
