Consequently, an overview of this nature – surveying microhistory's origins, current state and future directions – is a critical development for this increasingly vibrant area of the discipline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Handbook is arranged in four thematic Parts: Decades of Insight into Microhistory, Microhistory around the World, Microhistory as an Epistemology, and Microhistory as a Conceptual Framework. With contributions from world-renowned scholars, including Natalie Zemon Davis, Carlo Ginzburg and Giovanni Levi, and the international involvement of experts based in Brazil, the United States, Canada, Iceland, Hungary, Norway, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Africa, and India, this collection innovatively merges the local and the global as it presents the most authoritative exploration of microhistory published to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSigurður Gylfi Magnússon\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Cultural History and Chair of the Center for Microhistorical Research at University of Iceland, Iceland.
