Reading Primary Sources by Miriam Dobson
Offers an overview of methodological approaches to the use of sources, analyzing the way that these have changed over time. This work also provides an overview of twelve different types of written sources, including letters, diaries, novels, and dreams, taking into account the expansion in the range of written primary sources used by historians.‘The chapters always have a clear structure; their great merit is that they all follow the agenda laid out by the editors in a ‘basic checklist’ in their introduction and thus have a similar, unified structure … All in all, this volume can convinceIt introduces the problem of the literary qualities of primary source texts in a manner that can be found nowhere else.’ – Stefan Jordan, H-Soz-u-Kult
