Hayden White probes the notion of authority in art and literature
and examines the problems of meaning - its production,
distribution, and consumption-in different historical epochs. In
the end, he suggests, the only meaning that history can have is the
kind that a narrative imagination gives to it. The secret of the
process by which consciousness invests history with meaning resides
in "the content of the form," in the way our narrative capacities
transform the present into a fulfillment of a past from which we
would wish to have descended.
