Description
Postmodernism and History by W. Thompson provides a clear introduction to postmodernist theory and its impact on the study of history. Despite being a debated topic, Thompson offers straightforward explanations of complex concepts, making it accessible to students. The book explores key themes in postmodernist thought, including historical evidence, representation, feminist history, and ethical judgements on past events. It also discusses critically the work of practicing historians who have incorporated postmodernist ideas into their writing. By examining how far postmodern thought has been absorbed into mainstream historiography, Thompson offers a valuable insight into the current state of historical study.
