Beyond the obvious founders, which other historians crucially shaped the transition from ancient to modern historical writing, and what specific innovations did they introduce?
My research looks at the evolution of historical consciousness. I understand Herodotus, Thucydides, and Ranke as benchmarks, but who were the key transitional figures? Did Polybius or Tacitus refine ancient methods? How did Renaissance humanists like Machiavelli or Guicciardini revive critical history? Who between Vico, Hume, and Gibbon paved the way for Ranke's revolution? I need a connected narrative of influential shapers and their specific intellectual contributions.My research looks at the evolution of historical consciousness.
