Situating Clio's Influence in Humanities and Social Science Monographs: Disciplinary Affiliations and Historical Scholarship

Historical scholarship is found in various humanities and social science disciplines. Beyond the traditional historically oriented research and scholarship, as vetted by historians trained and educated in the profession, historical scholarship is situated within other disciplinary configurations as well. This essay offers a larger intellectual discussion of historical research and scholarship published in disciplinary venues outside history proper. Using AHCI and SSCI databases, data were collected for book reviews appearing between 1977 and 2006 to ascertain disciplinary and journal affiliations. Historical scholarship is situated in many fields in which a historical perspective or historiographically grounded scholarship is pursued. Indeed, the historical enterprise is much more intellectually pervasive vis-à-vis other disciplines than may be commonly supposed.
