Making a historical culture - historiography in Norway

Norwegian historical scholarship has to a large degree been a national histography. The 15 contributions in this anthology examine the intimate connection between Norwegian society, its culture and politics, and Norwegian historiography. They also trace the development of professional historical studies in Norway, mapping the themes and problems as well as discussing the presuppositions, approaches and methods that Norwegian historians have been concerned with in the 20th century. With references and index of names.
