This companion to Great Historians from Antiquity to 1800 summarizes the contributions and insights to several hundred nineteenth-and twentieth-century historians, all deceased, from thirty-eight regions and nations around the world. . .The extensive subject index testifies to the increasing importance of various philosophical schools, historiographic trends, and concepts in efforts to understand and explain the significance of the past. The brief biographical information in each entry will prove useful, but even more useful will be the expositions of these historians' major tenets and contributions, information their readers need to understand the historians' understanding of history." - Wilson Library Bulletin
