This book considers histories and historians across time and space, including the Ancient Greek historian Polybius, the medieval texts by historians such as Bede in England and Ibn Khaldun in Islamic Historiography, and the more recent works by Martin Heidegger, Luce Irigaray and Ranajit Guha among others. It explores the different ways in which historians have called upon wonder to cross boundaries between the past and the present, the universal and the particular, the old and the new, and the ordinary and the extraordinary. Promising to both delight and unsettle, it shows how wonder works as the beginning of historiography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccessible, engaging and wide-ranging, \u003ci\u003eHistory as Wonder\u003c\/i\u003e provides an original addition to the field of historiography that is ideal for those both new to and familiar with the study of history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marnie Hughes-Warrington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113884621X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138846210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Marnie Hughes-Warrington","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087779475711,"sku":"9781138846210","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ab7f584-be08-4448-a41e-0b88cfbbded8.jpg?v=1769101355","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-as-wonder-marnie-hughes-warrington-9781138846210","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
