The book is a modest attempt to analyse the historians and the technique adopted by them to write history in the 20 century. The author has selected Orissa as the field of-his work. He has documented the work of scholars in a graphic manner projecting the social and academic background of the historians on the basis of authentic data. The book gives a sweeping survey of the works categorising them in to periods and types. This being the first work on Orissan historiography carries great value for the students of history. It has been written in a lucid literary style to captivate the interest of readers in general and research scholars in particular.
