Even today, some historians are wary of applying a comparative lens to their work. Why is this, Mikhail Krom asks, when historical comparison can be an incredibly insightful approach to history?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned as a helpful resource for historians, \u003ci\u003eAn\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Historical Comparison\u003c\/i\u003e aims to teach scholars how to develop the skills needed to successfully employ a comparative methodology. It begins by tracing the intellectual history of comparative history writing and then examines the practice of historical comparison. The result is a clear and engaging analysis of historical thinking and a useful guide to main methodological techniques, successes, and pitfalls of comparative research. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn Introduction to Historical Comparison\u003c\/i\u003eis the first comprehensive study of the theory and practice of comparative-historical research. Combining a wide range of case-studies from the best practitioners of historical comparison with an innovative interdisciplinary perspective, this book is thus a meaningful contribution to current debates on historiography.
