Revolutions are not only a fascinating political and historical
phenomenon. The perception and description of revolutions also
conform to a certain linguistic and literary pattern discernible
both in historiography and political journalism. Historical novels
centring around revolutions can (also) be read as a form of
(political) historiography as they invariably engage with these
forms of representation. At the same time, however, historical
novels are literary texts and as such cast light on the linguistic
nature of historical (re)construction. A literary approach to the
epic depiction of revolution in "November 1918" lays bare these
contradictory reception alternatives, and in so doing points up the
connections between DAblin's presentation of the German November
revolution of 1918 and national and international 'revolution
(hi)stories' from a large variety of disciplines.
