Postmodern historiography

Samuel James's "Louis Mink, 'Postmodernism', and the Vocation of Historiography" (Modern Intellectual History, Vol. 7, No. 1 (2010), pp. 151-184) draws me to return to postmodern historiography to read Michael Bentley's Modernizing England's Past: English Historiography in the Age of Modernism, 1870-1970 (2005), William H. Sewell Jr.'s Logics of History: Social Theory and Social Transformation (2005), Jonathan Gorman's Historical Judgement: The Limits of Historiographical Choice (2008), and François Cusset's French theory : how Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, & Co. transformed the intellectual life of the United States (2008).
