出版商概要
Voice and Vision is as much a tour de force of critical reading as it is an incomparable guide to the writing of history, a brilliant elaboration of the subtle dialect between 'art' and 'craft' in nonfiction prose. -- Mike Davis, author of <i>Planet of Slums</i> Pyne offers a powerful and persuasive case for works that combine the techniques of great literature-including a novelist's eye for narrative, language, character development, and scene setting-with a historian's passion for factual accuracy and respect for the rules of evidence.

It distills the experience, gained from wide and generous reading as well as prolific writing, of a master of the genre. -- Harriet Ritvo, author of <i>The Platypus and the Mermaid: And Other Figments of the Classifying Imagination</i> Philanthropists seeking ways to add meaning and consequence to the academic pursuit known as 'research and scholarship' could have a tremendous-and measurable-impact with one simple investment: purchase hundreds of copies of this book and distribute them to social science and humanities faculty and graduate students across the nation. -- Patty Limerick, author of the essay "Dancing with Professors: The Trouble with Academic Prose" [Pyne's] book is a tour de force of critical commentary and explanation. Voice and Vision is an engaging literary performance in its own right. -- Peter Cochrane * The Australian * The book is everything the author says a work of nonfiction ought to be: well written, clearly thought out, and full of specific examples (of what to do and what not to do).
