Published by Oxford University Press.Edited by James M. McPherson and David Hackett Fischer"Each book [in the series] will examine a large historical problem through the lens of a particular event and the choices of individual actors. The design of the series reflects the current state of historical writing, which gives growing attention to the experiences of ordinary people, increasing sensitivity to issues of gender, class, and ethnicity, and deep interest in large structures and processes. We seek to combine this new scholership with old ideas of history as a narrative art and traditional standards of sound scholarship, mature judgement, and good writing," from the editors' introduction to Brown v. Board of Education. (English, Unclassified)
