Volume 3 / Athens 2001 The third volume of Historein is devoted to the theme "European Ego-Histoires: Historiography and the Self, 1970-2000" The contributions are based on lectures given in a seminar of the same title at the European University Institute in 1999-2000. The series was organized by Luisa Passerini and Alexander Geppert who also act as guest-editors of this volume. In this volume a body of ego-histoires (a term introduced by Pierre Nora) of historians illuminates the relationship between the historian's personality, his/her individual and generational life choices and the writing of history. Placed in time and space, the historian's subjectivity becomes a source of history in order to shed light on the connection between the historian and his/her epoque as well as on the conditions that shaped historiography in the last decades. Contributors include John Brewer, Leonid Borodkin, Barbara Duden, Gareth Stedman Jones, Antonis Liakos, Lutz Niethammer, Pierre Nora and Barbara Taylor.
