Task:

Write your own interpretative account of the evolution of historiography in either Greek or Roman civilization.

In your summary, indicate the contributions of your selection (be it Greek or Roman) to early historical scholarship. In other words, the essay is about Greek or Roman historians in the context in which they wrote their histories – the essay is not about the legacy of Greek or Roman historians today.

You may focus on one historian or a group of historians from either Greece or Rome. Many students often do little more than take notes from Breisach. This would be passable, but it is not what I am looking for. It is for this reason that you must also do outside research on the topic. Use Breisach, but use other sources as well. You should also trust yourself – use what you know to discuss something with which you may not be completely familiar.

Submission Instructions:

• The essays must target 1250 words and should begin with a clear and easily identifiable thesis statement and include a minimum of five primary and secondary sources.
• All essays must have a suitable title.
• Footnotes are required.
• All sources, as well as the bibliography, must conform to Turabian’s A Manual for Writers, 9th ed.

notes:

-add 6 primary and 6 secondary sources in TURABIAN format, footnotes, and Bibliography too

-choose historiography in either Greek or Roman civilization

-add plagiarism report

Academic vs. Popular Historians

Historians come in many varieties there are historians of ideas, war, diplomacy, economics, the family, revolutions, nations, science, food, and the list goes on and on. Most of these historians practice their “craft” in universities and colleges. Some are associated with war colleges, think tanks, the government, or private industry. There are good histories and bad histories just as there are good historians and bad historians. George Orwell once commented on a book by arguing that it was a “good, bad book” I imagine there are also “bad, good books.” One issue of academic versus popular history always emerges during the selection of titles for the third historiographical essay (HE 3).

TASKS:

Use this Discussion to suggest, argue, and debate this issue. Is there a difference between the historian who writes for popular consumption and the historian who writes for the academic community? What about the historical novelist? Surely the novelist writes “history” as well as historical narrative what are the implications of this? Is academic history more “serious” scholarship? What is scholarship? What of the “history buff” or “enthusiast”?

notes:

-Use the uploaded files for this work
