Are there any fabulous text books just for the historiography part of the course? Like ones that help you analyse sources, and give info on Herodotus, Thucydides, Tacitus etc...?
ta!

This is what my school uses as texts:

Marnie Hughes-Warrington, ed., Fifty Key Thinkers on History
John Warren, History and the Historians
Anna Green and Kathleen Troup, The Houses of History

I used the same, but i also used Ken Webb's Extension History.

History and the historians is a VERY comprehensive book. Perhaps a little overly comprehensive - one of the problems I had with that particular book, later on, was condensing what I thought was important - particularly because there was so much that the book emphasizes as important.

Nevertheless, a pretty good book for gaining a grounding in the concepts/historians/arguments/approaches.

Warren's book was very good imo. Bloody useful when combined with Webb's booklet. For the rest of historians, we received excerpts from their books and deconstructed them in class.
