Peter Burke: trajetória de um historiador

Abstract

Th is article gives an overview of the work of one of the best-known foreign historians in Brazil due to the fact that practically all of it has been translated into Portuguese, viz. Peter Burke. It examines his works since the studies about the Renascence and the Absolute Monarchies until his important contribution to historiographical analysis. Interdisciplinarity is pointed out as one of the great characteristics of Peter Burke's historiography and is shown to reflect itself in the several phases of his work. © 2011 by Unisinos.
