[Performative Historical Writing]
Series:Hermaea. Neue Folge 125
Aims and Scope
This study shows for the first time how performative historical writing emerged as a historical necessity in the German-speaking world of the late 18th century. In the long term this development paved the way for modern historiographic narrative. It discusses texts that use representational strategies to express the essentials of the course of history. The book is aimed at those interested in the history of literature and historical writing and also at those interested in literary and historical theory and historical philosophy.
