Description
Reading Primary Sources: A Guide to Interpreting Texts from Nineteenth and Twentieth Century History. This second edition of Reading Primary Sources provides an in-depth exploration of source criticism, covering both traditional and new methodological approaches to using primary documents. The book is divided into two parts, with Part I establishing a solid foundation for understanding source criticism and Part II delving into specific genres such as letters, memoranda, diaries, and more. Each chapter includes a checklist that guides students through the process of interpreting a particular source genre, helping them to understand how to read sources effectively. The book also covers new topics, including digitised source materials and social surveys, providing up-to-date information on widely used primary sources from across Europe and the United States.
