Studies in World History (3 vols.)

Early-twentieth-century historiography was marked by the idea of a “universal history,” in which humanity progresses towards greater enlightenment and a common civilization. These three classic one-volume histories of the world reflect this ideal, covering from prehistoric times to the twentieth century. The authors paint in broad strokes which reveal unique wide-angle perspectives and themes often missed in an era of specialists. Designed for non-experts, these volumes are all eminently readable and full of fascinating insight into world history and historiography’s history.
