Short Guide to Writing about History, A (7th Edition) por Richard A. Marius
This book is an excellent guide for people who are either new to or trying to improve their skills in researching and writing about history. It includes information on discriminating between sources, proper annotations, proper writing styles, and much more. There is also a very good bibliography at the end of the book with many further resources by excellent historians. If you want to research and write about history, this book is a great place to get started with developing the skills you need.
The advice in the book seems pretty sound, though it seems to focus a lot on non-history related details like the formatting of the paper, the proper marks for insertion and deletion, and grammar. While important for writing a good paper, it seems very much to me that the important part is mostly the writing about history, and leaving the rest to the English classes. I had to pass English 101 and 102 first thing in college. But it isn’t tough to skip those parts and focus on the meat of the history writing chapters.
