Even today, some historians are wary of applying a comparative lens to their work. Why is this, Mikhail Krom asks, when historical comparison can be an incredibly insightful approach to history? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDesigned as a helpful resource for historians, \u003ci\u003eAn\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Historical Comparison\u003c\/i\u003e aims to teach scholars how to develop the skills needed to successfully employ a comparative methodology. It begins by tracing the intellectual history of comparative history writing and then examines the practice of historical comparison. The result is a clear and engaging analysis of historical thinking and a useful guide to main methodological techniques, successes, and pitfalls of comparative research. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn Introduction to Historical Comparison \u003c\/i\u003eis the first comprehensive study of the theory and practice of comparative-historical research.

As such, this resource will be of immense value to both students reading historiography and methodology and to historians looking to apply a comparative approach to their own research.","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45082227998871,"sku":"9781350202115","price":4075.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781350202115.webp?v=1767898051","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-historical-comparison-9781350202115","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
