Probing the Limits of Microhistory
This epilogue to the special issue of JMEMS, “Microhistory and the Historical Imagination: New Frontiers,” comments on the essays, which trace the frontiers of microhistory.

In my view, we should not call the results of an investigation of a small area microhistory unless the historian’s objective is to nd ans…
