宋代崇儒右文，史學繁榮，雕版流行，陸游、范成大、楊萬里三大家因時乘勢詠史，除傳承六朝以來體制外，又往往藉讀書、讀史以詠史，藉樂府舊題以寫志，藉出使邊塞登臨而懷古；其他，因題畫、緣感興而詠史者亦不少。考三大詩人關切之主題，以六朝隋唐以來歷史之成敗興亡爲核心，旁及人物之臧否，人材之用捨，政俗之諷諭，其要歸於資鑑，與宋代史學之主潮可以相發明。至於三大家之詠史類型，以史爲詠，藉古諷今較多，隱括史傳最少；別生眼目，獨闢谿徑，較有特色。本文援引陸、范、楊三大家50餘首詠史詩爲例證，論述視角轉換、遺妍開發、翻空生奇、微辭嘲弄、歷史論衡五者，爲詠史詩別生眼目之五大途徑。詠史詩之注重史學史識，會通歷史與文學而化成之，自是學人之詩，非詩人之詩，亦由此可見。
