The Rise of the Trend of Thought of British New Social History and the International Echo of the Study of the Whole Social History

From the point of view of academic trend of thought, “the study of new social history”, as a kind of new historiographic thoughts, and the holistic trend of the western historiography,almost simultaneously came forth on the stage of contemporary international historiography.The trend of thought of new social history of Britain has comprehensive and profound historiographical origin at home and abroad. The nuclear issue blazoned forth by the school of new social history of Britain is to stick to the conception of history “from bottom to up”, which has indicated the tropism and disquisitive practice of the whole social history directed by this kind of conception of history. Under the present background where the development situation of the international historiography has been remodulated, from the viewpoint of a comparatively extensive analysis, the British Marxist School of New Social History represented by Hobsbawm and Thompson has aroused the extensive attention and imitation of the academia of historiography at home and abroad, which greatly promoted the evolution of the international historiography, and gave expression to the international echo of the British School of New Social History and the trend of holistic historiographic thinking.
