An updated guide to Greek historiography was long overdue. In this comprehensive and temporally wide-ranging reassessment, History and Historiography in Greece<\/em> examines the evolution of Greek historical scholarship by reviewing the ideas, methods, and schools of history shaping the field. From how these developments correspond with international trends, to their rate of development alongside global shifts in scholarship, this volume identifies not only the ideological limitations shaping Greek academia, but also the innovations that are breaking new ground. In doing so, the contributors illuminate how those developments yield new lessons for existing conceptual frameworks within the fields of labor, gender, diaspora studies, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
