Can anyone recommend a good book on historiography?

by jms175

I’m not looking for any specific topic/era but rather a general survey of the subject. I have read EH Carr’s “What is History?” and am now reading Evans’s “In Defense of History”. I’m looking for further resources.

The Pursuit of History is common in historiography classes.

Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular text, and which aren't backed up by knowledge of the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
