Peripheral cultures have been largely absent from the European
canon of historiography. Seeking to redress the balance, Monika
Baar discusses the achievements of five East-Central European
historians in the nineteenth century: Joachim Lelewel (Polish);
Simonas Daukantas (Lithuanian); Frantisek Palacky (Czech); Mihaly
Horvath (Hungarian) and Mihail Kogalniceanu (Romanian). Comparing
their efforts to promote a unified vision of national culture in
their respective countries, Baar illuminates the complexities of
historical writing in the region in the nineteenth century. Drawing
on previously untranslated documents, Baar reconstructs the
scholars' shared intellectual background and their nationalistic
aims, arguing that historians on the European periphery made
significant contributions to historical writing, and had far more
in common with their Western and Central European contemporaries
than has been previously assumed.
