American Historical Review - American Historical Review
A masterful treaty on the development of historical writing in the west. Breisach's comprehensive coverage of the subject and his clear presentation of the issues and the complexity of an evolving discipline...make his work the best of its kind. Breisach demonstartes a superb grasp of the subject, and he deserves to be commended for articulating his theme so well.
