Willie Thompson offers a clear, jargon-free introduction to postmodernist theory and its significant impact on the study of history. This is a hotly-debated topic, and much of the literature is both polemical and inaccessible to the novice. Thompson, however, presents key ideas in a straightforward way, making these debates relevant to students' own work.

Review
"This book represents a significant addition to the growing literature on postmodernism and history. It is notable for its exposition of postmodern ideas, and discussion of their use by historians, in a single volume. It offers the most comprehensive overview of this subject to date.' - Dr Avram Taylor, University of Northumbria
