Book Synopsis Between History and Literature by : Lionel Gossman
Book excerpt: Gossman (French, Princeton U.) illuminates the problematic relationship between history and literature, and shows how each discipline both challenges and undermines the other's absolutist pretensions. In particular, he address the essential historicity of literature and the essentially literary-textual nature of history through an inquiry into the work of the Romantic historians, especially Thierry and Michelet.
