The book provides a synthesis of the development of the genre of
national history writing in Europe. In particular it seeks to
illuminate the relationship between history writing and the
construction of national identities in modern Europe. Whilst it
briefly considers pre-modern forms of national history writing, the
focus of the book is firmly on the period after 1750. It ranges
widely across Europe, featuring the well-known national
historiographies of countries such as Britain, France and Germany
as well as the less well-known national historiographies of many of
the smaller nation-states and stateless nations in Europe. It
thoroughly investigates the institutionalisation and
professionalization of national historiographies. It analyses the
diverse and contested national master narratives put forward by
national historiographies. It pays due attention to the
interrelationship of national historiographies with sub- as well as
transnational forms of history writing and with potential
alternative historiographies of ethnicity/ race, class, religion
and gender. And it looks at the impact of borders and bordering in
the national historiographies in Europe. It presents an overview of
the power of national historiographies over the historical
imagination in modern Europe.
