治史三书 豆瓣
9.4 (10 个评分) 作者: 严耕望 上海人民出版社 2011 - 6
《治史三书》作者严耕望享誉国际史坛,是钱穆最欣赏的学生,胡适、杨联陞一致称许的史学大家,余英时誉之为中国史学界的朴实楷模。本书汇集了严耕望先生的三本小书《治史经验谈》、《治史答问》和《钱穆宾四先生与我》,系著者总结数十年从师问学的历程与研治国史的实际经验,现身说法,指示后人以治史门径。著者不矜其能,不放言高论,举凡历史学研究的基本方法、具体规律、论题选择、论著标准、论文体式、引用材料与注释方式、论文撰写及改订,以及努力途径与生活修养等诸多问题,皆以质朴流畅的语言娓娓道来,原原本本,条分缕析,诚挚亲切,务求实用,可谓金针度人,功在学林。
对初学治史者而言,有一本非常实用的参考书,那就是严耕望的《治史三书》,特别是其中的《治史经验谈》。严先生文如其人,甚少“惊人之语”,亦不弄玄虚,所论处处针对学子所需,实在而具体。
——罗志田(北京大学历史系教授)
这是一本值得向所有有志于中国文史研究的学者推荐的书。谈论治学经验的书并不少见,但切实周到如本书者则不易多得。
——傅 杰(复旦大学中文系教授)
严耕望的特长,在于同所有具备朴实品格的历史学家一样,能够把这个议题通过自身的治学经历以及深厚经验讲述得惟妙惟肖……可让读者感受到“充实而有光辉”的魅力,金针度人、沾丐后学自然不在浅显。这些措施和办法也极为切实,归结为一句话,就是勤奋读书而已。

The Practice of History 豆瓣
作者: Geoffrey R. Elton Wiley-Blackwell 1991 - 1

In Defense of History 豆瓣
作者: Richard J. Evans W. W. Norton & Company 2000 - 1
A master practitioner gives us an entertaining tour of the historian's workshop and a spirited defense of the search for historical truth. E. H. Carr's What Is History? , a classic introduction to the field, may now give way to a worthy successor. In his compact, intriguing survey, Richard J. Evans shows us how historians manage to extract meaning from the recalcitrant past. To materials that are frustratingly meager, or overwhelmingly profuse, they bring an array of tools that range from agreed-upon rules of documentation and powerful computer models to the skilled investigator's sudden insight, all employed with the aim of reconstructing a verifiable, usable past. Evans defends this commitment to historical knowledge from the attacks of postmodernist critics who see all judgments as subjective. Evans brings "a remarkable range, a nose for the archives, a taste for controversy, and a fluent pen" ( The New Republic ) to this splendid work. "Essential reading for coming generations."-Keith Thomas

Review
"Readers will find reliable and insightful information presented without recourse to jargon."--E.A. Breisach, Choice
"If anyone were to provide an equivalent to What is History? for the early twenty-first century, it would surely be David Cannadine...as balanced as [it is] indispensible."--David Armitage, Columbia University
"At last, What is History? gets the successor it deserves...extremely readable and highly stimulating."--Roy Porter, University College, London
"[Cannadine] has assembled a distinguished team who convey, with spirit and
lucidity, the scale and excitement of [historical] discovery."--The Sunday Telegraph
"...should prove invaluable to graduate students and scholars..."--Claude Ury, History: Reviews of New Books
"Both the sense of the past and the strudy of history have changed significantly since E.H.Carr asked the question What is History? The key word in this new book, stimulating and in places provocative, is Now. Various authors, drawing largely on their personal experiences as historians, explore the processes and implications of change."--Asa Briggs
