Ready to take an entire historiography class in 20 minutes? Well too bad, here it is anyways. Historiography is a very important part of doing history. It's merely the history of history. Every undergrad history major takes a course in this, and grad students have an even more intense version. There you’ll learn about most of these schools of thought in great detail. Let’s go over each school in about a paragraph. Perhaps it’ll help you understand the evolution of the history field as a whole. Sections covered:
