Writing History in Place

The interpretive introduction and accompanying articles in this special issue explore the uses of place as a concept, method, and narrative tool in agricultural, environmental, and rural history. The wide-ranging essays demonstrate how an attention to place can lead historians to highlight the human scale, the inhabited, the particular, and the contingent. The issue provides readers with interpretive models and suggestive examples of the value of place in framing historical thinking, research, and writing.
