Reviews
This update has further enhanced what has always been a key text for specialist and non-specialist students of history. The structure and content, most especially the glossary, make it an essential read and I cannot recommend it too highly. * Dave Day, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK *
Narrative and History provides an excellent introduction to some seminal debates in the study of the past. Updated to include sections on how the past is mediated in the contemporary world, it will be a valuable resource for students across a range of disciplines. * David Archibald, University of Glasgow, UK *
Alun Munslow lucidly explains how the poetics of historical writing confers meanings on the past, rather than proclaims truths about it-showing, in other words, why it is through history's narrative mastery that the past becomes real in the reader's imagination. * Benjamin Brown, University of Sydney, Australia *
