The second semester of the required HIST 511-512
sequence in Historiography pursues the same
"complete readings" approach into major works
concentrating on first the Early Modern and then the
Modern era. Once more, historians are studied
individually, and trends or schools are for the most part
introduced through the historians that embody
their distinctive approaches. Authors dealt with over the
second semester may be as diverse as Febvre,
Braudel, Le Roy Ladurie, Christopher Hill, Keith
Thomas, E. P. Thompson, Charles Tilly, Simon Schama
and Carlo Ginzburg, as well as Hobsbawm,
Blackbourn, Landes, Eugen Weber, Peter Gay or François
Furet. Crucial debates, for example on "the transition
from feudalism to capitalism" and its Brenner
follow-up, or on "the military revolution and
the genesis of the modern state", are introduced as separate
files or appendices. The last quarter of the course is
devoted to a closing survey of the current proliferation
of outlooks and approaches, including discussions of
microhistory, cultural history, history of mentalities,
the return of the narrative, the return of the state, as
well as modernist vs post-modernist positions on the
question of "historical truth", "myth-making", or
the relationship between literature and history.
