(last updated on 2006/12/05)
Abstract:
What problems does does microhistory solve
for historians since “the linguistic turn”?
"Microhistory" examines this historical
method from its invention in the 1970s in
Italy to its widespread use today among
historians of many fields. The book
explores five problems: narrative and time,
interpreting evidence and the law, individual agency, historical contexts, and quantitative methods.
