Summary

"The Handbook of Historical Sociology surveys and traces the development of the subject. A general introduction outlines the situation of historical sociology after the cultural turn in the social sciences: the subject is expanded upon in three parts, each of which is prefaced by an introduction that summarises and contextualises the chapters. Systematic, rigorous and engaging, the book offers readers the most complete and authoritative guide to historical sociology, and will serve to enlighten both academics and students."--Jacket.
