Abstract

How is the history of medieval Europe written? What national discourses shape the editing of medieval texts and their interpretation in historiography? And how can medieval historians confront these questions by reintegrating their fragmented field through the use of comparison and critiques across national boundaries? In his work, Timothy Reuter regularly posed these challenges to his colleagues, acting as a bridge between the historians of England and Germany, working on an edition of the letters of Wibald of Stavelot (whose own career took him to many of the power centres of medieval Europe), and positioning medieval Europe in the wider discourses of world history. The essays collected here provide a response to this challenge. Dedicated to Prof. Reuter’s memory and in some cases directly continuing his work, all are explicitly comparative in their approach. All of the authors take as their starting point the need to be conscious of the situation from which they themselves are writing and to be sensitive to the training traditions which have shaped their own interpretations. This book shows medieval historians at work, questioning and reflecting on their practice. As well as being of value to specialists in the field, the essays are written in an approachable style and will therefore be of value as a teaching tool to undergraduate and graduate students.

Abstract

Co-edition with Cornell University Press. Frank Ankersmit is the author of many books and essays on the theory of history. In this work he provides, for the first time, a systematic account of his understanding of the nature of historical writing. This rehabilitation of historicism will surprise many, as will the way in which Ankersmit goes about it. Ankersmit argues that the historicist account of historical writing (from Herder, via Ranke and Humboldt, to Dilthey) is correct but needs to be translated from its original romanticist vocabulary into a more modern philosophical idiom. This translation, he maintains, 'reveals the basic truths about the nature of the past itself, how we relate to it, and how we make sense of the past in historical writing.'

Abstract

Such an interdisciplinary moment came to pass at the conference titled "Choreographing History", held at the University of California in February 1992, out of which the essays in this volume were generated. The conference brought together historians of the arts, science, sexuality, and history to discuss the projet of writing about the body and its movement. Focus on body as an analytic category, in the organization of this conference and in current critical theory, brings into sharp relief theoretical concerns in the writing of history. Body as a subjet of scholarly inquiry also invites participation across disciplines and from various constituencies who previously have found little common ground
