本书聚焦于欧美史学在中国的传播、中国学者的世界史研究、中国学者的欧美史学研究、台湾地区的新史学这些中国新史学研究中通常容易被忽略的方面。

第一编，选择梁启超和李大钊作为传播者的典型，论述他们对欧美史学的传播，分析其共同的实证主义史学特征。选择鲁滨逊新史学派和年鉴学派作为被传播的学派的典型，选择唯物史观和后现代主义作为被传播思潮的典型，述其传播情况，说明其对于中国新史学的影响。

第二编，结合社会变革，概述新中国的世界史研究、欧美史学研究，表明这两种研究完全受中国社会变迁和主流思想流变的制约，尽管曾经或现在仍然面临困难和问题，然而还是取得辉煌成就，并为未来留下巨大的发展空间。

第三编，总体上讨论中国台湾史学阶段性特征、欧美史学思潮特别是后现代主义史学的传播，以史学理论与史学史著作之一斑来窥其史学整体之豹。以连横作为中国台湾当地史学家代表，选择傅斯年、李济作为海归学者代表，选择张贵永和胡秋原为研究欧美史学的代表，分别加以探讨。

This book focuses on the spread of European and American historiography in China, the study of world history by Chinese scholars, the study of European and American historiography by Chinese scholars, and the new historiography of Taiwan, which are often overlooked aspects of Chinese new historiography. The first part selects Liang Qichao and Li Dazhao as typical disseminators, discusses their dissemination of European and American historiography, and analyzes their common positivist historiography. The Robinson New Historical School and the Annals School were selected as the typical schools to be disseminated, and the materialist view of history and postmodernism were selected as the models of the disseminated ideological trends, describing their dissemination and explaining their influence on the new Chinese historiography. The second part, combined with social changes, summarizes the study of world history in New China and the study of European and American historiography, showing that these two studies are completely constrained by China's social changes and mainstream ideological changes, and although they have faced or still face difficulties and problems, they have made brilliant achievements and left huge room for development in the future. The third part discusses the phased characteristics of Taiwanese historiography in general, the spread of European and American historiography, especially postmodernist historiography, and takes historical theory and historical works to glimpse the panther of historiography as a whole. With Lian Heng as the representative of local historians in Taiwan, Fu Sinian and Li Ji as representatives of returnee scholars, and Zhang Guiyong and Hu Qiuyuan as representatives of European and American historiography, they were discussed separately.（AI翻译）
