Karl Valentin once asked: "How can it be that only as much happens
as fits into the newspaper the next day?" He focussed on the
problem that information of the past has to be organised, arranged
and above all: selected and put into form in order to be perceived
as a whole. In this sense, the process of selection must be seen as
the fundamental moment - the "Urszene" - of making History. This
book shows selection as highly creative act. With the richness of
early medieval material it can be demonstrated that creative
selection was omnipresent and took place even in unexpected text
genres. The book demonstrates the variety how premodern authors
dealt with "unimportant", unpleasant or unwanted past. It provides
a general overview for regions and text genres in early medieval
Europe.
