"An excellent introduction to and sampling of the developing genre of microhistory... In essence these historians begin their analysis 'from below,' viewing the ordinary peoples ignored in the annals of European history." — Catholic Historical Review.
Selections from Quaderni Storici.
Revealing the human dimension of the past is the purpose of microhistory--the intense study of a particular individual, community, or event. Microstoria evolved primarily in Italy during the late 1970s and 1980s among a group of historians associated with the journal Quaderni storici. This collection contains eight of the most stimulating examples of microhistory from Quaderni storici, translated by Eren Branch. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Microhistory and the Lost Peoples of Europe
This collection of Italian microhistory articles blur cultural and social history (as well as ideas about the objectivity & ambiguity of historical research) to recreate Renaissance-era Italian life. Some of the prose skews toward the overly technical, but the best essays show how limited sources can reveal much about the past, as well as how folk beliefs ' fears of the Turks, Roman myths, pagan stories, etc. ' can influence how people perceive the world. Not a book for casual readers, but really useful for showing students just what a microhistory is.
