Features: This work can be said to be a reflection on the development of American historical studies. It is not the textbook-style history of historiography that we are familiar with, listing historians and historiographical schools, but rather integrates the history of historiography, historical philosophy, and sociocultural trends and social changes. Therefore, in this relatively thin book, it contains many aspects of the history of American historiography, the history of sociocultural trends in America (and even the West), and the history of American social and political history, as well as reflections on historical philosophy.
