Review

Metahistory is something more than a study of philosophies of history (although it is that too, and no doubt
the most important work in the field since Collingwood): it is also a methodological manifesto, a more
sustained argument for a deep-figural hermeneutic than has been worked out anywhere before now.

(Diacritics)

This is a daring, ingenious... tour de force. White has produced a profoundly original 'critique of historical
reason.'

(American Historical Review)

A book that will simply have to be reckoned with by all historians who have the slightest interest in the
genesis and forms of historical narrative.

(Journal of Modern History)

METAHISTORY: THE HISTORICAL IMAGINATION IN
NINETEENTH-CENTURY EUROPE BY HAYDEN WHITE PDF

Since its initial publication in 1973, Hayden White’s Metahistory has remained an essential book for
understanding the nature of historical writing. In this classic work, White argues that a deep structural
content lies beyond the surface level of historical texts. This latent poetic and linguistic content?which White
dubs the "metahistorical element"?essentially serves as a paradigm for what an "appropriate" historical
explanation should be.

To support his thesis, White analyzes the complex writing styles of historians like Michelet, Ranke,
Tocqueville, and Burckhardt, and philosophers of history such as Marx, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Croce. The
first work in the history of historiography to concentrate on historical writing as writing, Metahistory sets out
to deprive history of its status as a bedrock of factual truth, to redeem narrative as the substance of
historicality, and to identify the extent to which any distinction between history and ideology on the basis of
the presumed scientificity of the former is spurious.

This fortieth-anniversary edition includes a new preface in which White explains his motivation for writing
Metahistory and discusses how reactions to the book informed his later writing. In a new foreword, Michael
S. Roth, a former student of White’s and the current president of Wesleyan University, reflects on the
significance of the book across a broad range of fields, including history, literary theory, and philosophy.
This book will be of interest to anyone?in any discipline?who takes the past as a serious object of study.
