"'History' is not only an object we can study," White observes, "it is also and even primarily a certain kind of relationship to 'the past' mediated by a distinctive kind of written discourse. It is because historical discourse is actualized in its culturally significant form as a specific kind of writing that we may consider the relevance of literary theory to both the theory and the practice of historiography.""--Jacket.MimesisgttVerteltheoriegttGeschiedschrijvinggttMimesis in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst01896075Literature and historyfast(OCoLC)fst01000077History in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00958338Historiographyfast(OCoLC)fst00958221Criticismfast(OCoLC)fst00883735HistoriographyLiterature and historyMimesis in literatureHistory in literatureCriticismElectronic books.
