Historiography, or the study of writers of history, is a complex and often unnoticed subcategory of the study of history. Many people, from the common joes to the Harvardian scholastics, assume the study of history to be the study of events chronologically. However, Breisach argues in his book that history in order to be correctly read, analysed, and interpreted, one must take the step further to also acknowledge the method through which the reader obtains historical information.
