The sole purpose of this book, said author Savoie Lottinville, is "to help the person committed to history to become an effective writer in that inviting field." Lottinville emphasizes that writing must be practiced as a discipline, as exacting as research and as elusive as achievement in any other art.As every historian discovers, it is one thing to learn historical method and amass data and quite another to write effectively about any period or episode. Research is an absorbing means to an end, but writing is often baffling, especially to the beginner. The Rhetoric of History analyzes techniques historians need to employ and includes examples of the writing styles of many of the most notable historians of the United States and Europe.Topics covered include: Conceptualization in history Handling Openings Constructing scenes Narrative structures and analytical historical writing Continuity Managing time, place, and cultural milieu Editing bibliographies and original documents, and Considerations of historical publishing.Brimming with practical advice, The Rhetoric of History will prove to be indispensable to historiansboth professional and amateur.
