Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"There is a great deal to admire about this study. The author is extraordinarily erudite: not only has he read carefully all of Droysen's work and mastered the secondary literature about him, he moves with ease across centuries of historiography - I learned a lot from the study about both Droysen and his place in modern historiography." * James Sheehan, Stanford University "This is a thorough, original, and well-researched study of a major nineteenth-century historical thinker - Assis demonstrates with great clarity that Droysen saw no incompatibility between 'studying history', 'thinking historically', and 'making history'. By situating the German historian both in his own time and in a long tradition of reflection on the uses and abuses of history, Assis's book makes a welcome contribution to intellectual history, history of historiography, and historical theory." * Herman Paul, Leiden University
