You will also need to write a 10-12-page review essay (2500-3000 words) in which you discuss the four or five books (and sometimes articles) listed for one of the topics below. Several topics are listed for each unit of the course. Choice of topics is up to you, but please notify your instructor as soon as you have made your choice. Your review essay may be submitted at any time (early encouraged!), but is not officially due until the Monday of finals week. See below for instructions on writing your historiographical review essay. Review Essay and Historiographical Discussions Historiography concerns how historians have interpreted historical subjects, how these interpretations differ and have changed over time, and debates among historians over specific historical issues and events. An historiographical essay summarizes and analyzes major arguments and debates about a given topic. It is not a book report, or a number of book reports strung together. Nor does it simply narrate the history of a past event. It is comparative and analytical. It takes a theme, problem, or issue and analyzes the evolution of historical interpretations offered by various historians. It places historians and their work in dialogue with one another. It focuses on the major schools of thought, conflicting interpretations, and new directions for research. Often, an historiographical essay suggests new directions or topic for historians to explore. A good essay explores the questions the historians under review are asking, and then compares and contrasts their approaches to answering those questions. It may analyze how historians approaches have evolved over time, the major debates in a particular field, or the ways different scholars have approached a topic. In your essay, provide a brief synopsis of each work’s argument, methodology, sources, and analysis. Historians write books in conversation with the scholarship that preceded them, and your essay should recognize that dialogue. What unites these books? What divides them? Your essays should focus on substantive issues, that is issues of central importance to the author’s argument. Avoid prolonged comments on an author’s writing style. Avoid using too many quotations, and quote only when absolutely necessary to demonstrate your point. Similarly, avoid the passive voice, generalizations, such as “the book is very interesting,” or vague phrases that weaken your writing: “seems to,” “may be,” “appears to.” Era: The Jazz Age Books: Cultural Transformations Paula S.
