Historical narratives represent about a third of the total output
of Wilhelm Raabe (1831-1910). In this study his characteristic
concern to recreate the past in narrative terms is examined against
the background of the structural models operative in Raabe's
hermeneutic view of history. The interest evinced by Raabe in
Germany's development towards a nation-state frequently takes the
form of a narrative emphasis on illiberal deviations from the
course of history in Western Europe as a whole. This mole-like
burrowing down into the innermost strata of the historical
development of a specific (German) mentalitA(c) is frequently
combined with anthropological aspects of a history of the
collective unconscious. There thus emerges a modern perspective on
(German) history which is equally remarkable for the innovative
aesthetic means employed in its communication.
