About History: Its Theory And Method

Our listing names Trinity as the publisher. Please message us on WhatsApp at 9906523492 for details of the copy in stock.

About the author
B. Sheik Ali, also spelled B. Sheikh Ali, was an Indian historian. Public sources describe him as a teacher at the University of Mysore who later served as vice chancellor of Goa University and Mangalore University, and as the author of dozens of books, including works on the history of Mysore under Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan. He passed away in 2022.
What the subject of theory and method is
Most history courses begin or end with a paper on the theory and method of history. Instead of asking what happened, it asks how we know what happened and how historians decide what to trust. Books on this subject generally deal with questions like these:
- What is history, and how has its meaning changed over time?
- How do historians collect and judge sources, such as documents, inscriptions and oral accounts?
- What is the difference between facts, interpretation and bias?
- How do different schools of thought explain the movement of the past?
- How is a historical work planned, researched and written?
We do not claim that this edition matches any one university syllabus. Please compare it with your own course outline before you order.
Why Its Theory And Method matters for every history student
A student who knows only dates and events can repeat information, but a student who understands method can think like a historian. Learning to question a source, to separate evidence from opinion and to see how the writer’s time and place shape the account is useful far beyond the classroom. It helps in research papers, in competitive exams that ask about historical sources and in everyday life, where we meet claims about the past in newspapers, social media and speeches.
Editions of the book
Library and book catalogues list an earlier edition published by Macmillan in 1978 and a paperback published by Trinity Press in 2017. The copy we sell is listed as a Trinity paperback of the latest edition. Because several printings exist, please confirm with us that the copy suits your course.
Who should read this book
- BA and MA history students who have a paper on historiography or research method
- Students preparing for history optional papers in competitive exams
- Teachers who want a reference for their lectures
- Research scholars starting a thesis who need a refresher on method
- General readers who are curious about how history is written
How to get the most from the book
Read one chapter at a time and write a short summary of its main argument in your own words. Prepare a list of key terms and the names of thinkers and schools mentioned, with one line on each. When a topic is new, discuss it with a teacher or classmate. Practise explaining an idea in a paragraph, because theory papers reward clear writing. Try applying each idea to a topic you already know, such as a period from Indian or Kashmir history, and ask how a historian could study it using the methods described. We do not promise marks, but this kind of active reading builds real understanding.
