This comprehensive history of the humanities focuses on the modern period (1850-2000). The contributors, including Floris Cohen, Lorraine Daston and Ingrid Rowland, survey the rise of the humanities in interaction with the natural and social sciences, offering new perspectives on the interaction between disciplines in Europe and Asia and new insights generated by digital humanities.
"Attention is fruitfully devoted to the emergence (...) of what are recognizably the modern academic disciplines of world literature, art history, music history, and linguistics, among others.(...) [An] excellent collection. . . . Highly recommended." - Choice Magazine
"The Making of the Humanities should be in every scholar’s library: beautifully and carefully produced and eschewing jargon, this volume is a lucid description of what the humanities have offered and our responsibility in taking them up." - Katherine Arens, Isis
