(Tweede aflewering van twee artikels.)

Abstract

In the first instalment on the stylistic approach to the historiography the diversity implicated in the practice of the discipline was taken note of. Focus was placed on the paradigm of science, spirit of the time and the self. The way in which historiography and style blend to help us to understand the past was noted. In this second instalment focus is placed on the political, social as well as socio -economical historical trends. Recent trends in historical writing are also outlined.
