This was a surprise find in a used book store and an absolute treasure for historians who write. I have learned quite a bit about linguistics and method, appealing to the audience with boring facts or flowery rhetoric. So much to think about and I will be using this book as a reference from now on!

Years in grad school... This was the best, most usable description of the historical method -- a bit dated bit full of practical information.

This book has been recommended by one of History lecturers from my previous campus and to be my dissertation reference to understand how historians do their research and what they want.
