Abstract
The diversity and vitality of the study of western history are indebted to the scholarly pioneers of the late-19th and early-20th centuries who established western history as a viable discipline and defined some of its principal themes. In this text, historian Richard Etulain has gathered 11 essays by western historians on ten of the discipline's early studentshe result is a survey of the evolution of a scholarly field and of the ways in which the study of history reflects the concerns and interests of the society around it. Each essay in the work analyzes the background and work of a single western historian, setting each scholar into the intellectual context of his times and analyzing his contributions and limitations. Etulain's introduction and afterword provide a linking commentary on the individual essays and remind us that the study of history is never static, never isolated from the cultural world. Originally published in 1991, this edition includes a new foreword by Glenda Riley.
