Produktbeschreibung

This two-volume anthology represents the range of articles published in The Journal of Historical Sociology over the last twenty years. These essays, debates and responses by internationally distinguished historians, sociologists, anthropologists and geographers as well as by pioneering newer scholars have been influential in challenging and redefining the field of historical sociology. Spanning a range of issues and topics that combine rich empirical scholarship with sophisticated theoretical engagement, they bring together the very best of the JHS. The first volume includes key articles on the British state by sociologists and historians and the second volume challenges the nature of undertaking interdisciplinary work within history and the social sciences. Together, both volumes contribute to the sustained and coherent engagement of history and the social sciences in Britain and elsewhere. Volume 1 is a collection of essays on state formation from medieval times to the present, focussing mainly on the British state. It includes contributions from a number of prominent British historians and is essential reading for academics and students of historical sociology, anthropology and political and cultural research.
