History, Historians, and Historiography
This is a history course, but it is different from the other history courses you have taken. It is not about a particular place, period, or people. Nor is it about a particular theme. Instead, it is about history itself: what it is, why we do it, and how we do it.
Our guide in our quest to understand history itself isJohn Tosh’s The Pursuit of History (available at the Quest University Bookstore and on reserve in the library). This book provides a clear, useful, and sympathetic overview of major issues in the modern theory and practice of history.
