			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few months ago I heard <a href="http://history.fas.nyu.edu/object/marthahodes" title="Hodes bio">Martha Hodes</a> speak about her latest book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FSea-Captains-Wife-Nineteenth-Century%2Fdp%2F039333029X%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1194766221%26sr%3D1-1&amp;tag=makinghistory-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">The Sea Captain&#8217;s Wife</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=makinghistory-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" style="border:medium none !important;margin:0 !important;" border="0" height="1" width="1" />.  Most of the questions from the audience centered on the accessibility of her writing and its appeal to a mainstream audience.  During the presentation she championed the need for better History writing, even suggesting that dissertations should be written in a more informal or experimental style.  Her talk led me to her article in <em>Perspectives</em>:  &#8220;<a href="http://www.historians.org/Perspectives/issues/2007/0705/0705tea2.cfm" title="hodes' article">Experimental History in the Classroom</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been reading through each text that she mentions in her article, and have compiled a list below (with hyperlinks when possible) for others who are interested in reading more works of Experimental History:</p>
