The aim of this collective work is to address this debate, and to search for new ways of thinking and encountering the past. The key note for the book comes from Hayden White, one of the leading academic figures, whose role in launching the contemporary history/literature debate has been crucial. It is followed by three critical readings of his work, all suggesting new ways to apply or challenge his views. In other chapters of the book, history / literature question is then addressed from three points of view: narrativity, history as literature, and literature as history. Tropes for the Past is an ideal introduction to the literature/historiography debate and Hayden White's role in it. It will be of use for all students and scholars in the philosophy of history and in historically oriented literary, cultural, and social studies. 410 0$aInternationale Forschungen zur Allgemeinen und Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft ;$v96. 517 3 $aHayden White and the History / Literature Debate 606 $aHistorical fiction$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 606 $aHistory, Modern$y20th century$xHistoriography$vCongresses 606 $aLiterature and history$vCongresses 606 $aOther (Philosophy)$xComparative studies$vCongresses 615 0$aHistorical fiction$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aHistory, Modern$xHistoriography 615 0$aLiterature and history 615 0$aOther (Philosophy)$xComparative studies 676 $a809.93 702 $aKorhonen$b Kuisma 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777650003321 996 $aTropes for the past$9265629 997 $aUNINA
