But for what purpose and with what value?<italic>Talking History</italic> provides a defence of the seminar as a central element in historians’ teaching, research and sense of community. Covering a range of the IHR’s long-running seminar series, the book presents the seminars as a local, national and international hub for scholarship that emerges from and is sustained by the ongoing learning practices of historians as scholars and people. It bears witness to a seminar culture of evolving, multifarious synergies between teaching, researching and learning, historiography and participation – intertextual, interpersonal, intergenerational and intercultural. Viewed as such, the seminars constitute a living tradition, stimulating and incorporating dynamic change over time to contribute not just to the development of historiography but to intellectual life more generally, often in conversation with major political events and cultural phenomena.This original and significant book delivers fresh insight into the evolution of historical research and its role in wider society today. 04 00 <ul> <li> Introduction David Manning </li> <li> 1 A History of the History Seminar: The ‘Active Life’ of Historiography at the Institute of Historical Research David Manning </li> <li> 2 The Italy 1200–1700 Seminar Trevor Dean and Kate Lowe </li> <li> 3 The Economic and Social History of the Early Modern World Seminar David Ormrod </li> <li> 4 The British History in the Seventeenth Century Seminar Jason Peacey </li> <li> 5 The British History in the Long Eighteenth Century Seminar Penelope J.
