The Death of the Historian; Epilogue; Notes; Works Cited; IndexNew attitudes towards history in nineteenth-century Britain saw a rejection of romantic, literary techniques in favour of a professionalized, scientific methodology. The development of history as a scientific discipline was undertaken by several key historians of the Victorian period, influenced by German scientific history and British natural philosophy. This study examines parallels between the professionalization of both history and science at the time, which have previously been overlooked. Hesketh challenges accepted notions of a single scientific approach to history. Instead, he draws on a variety of sources - monographs, lectures, correspondence - from eminent Victorian historians to uncover numerous competing discourses.Science and culture in the nineteenth century ;Number 12.HistoriographyGreat BritainHistory19th centuryHistoryStudy and teachingGreat BritainHistory19th centuryHistoryMethodologyHistory19th centuryHistoriographyHistoryHistoryStudy and teachingHistoryHistoryMethodologyHistory907.2041Hesketh Ian1975-1207964UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910791439903321The science of history in Victorian Britain3844221UNINA
