"What is it to practice history in an age in which photographs exist? What is the
impact of photographs on the core historiographical practices which define the discipline
and shape its enquiry and methods? In Photographs and the Practice of History, Elizabeth
Edwards proposes a new philosophy of history which explores these questions and redefines
the practices at the heart of this discipline. Structured around key concepts in historical
methodology which are recognisable to all undergraduates, the book shows that from
the mid-19th century onward, photographs have influenced historical enquiry. Exposure
to these mass-distributed cultural artefacts is enough to change our historical frameworks
even when research is textually-based. Intended as a companion to 'how to' guides
on visual research, Photographs and the Practice of History builds on existing literature
by leading scholars and gives readers a foundation on which to build their own historical
practices"
