"three sets of essays form this collection: one set on analyzing history as narrative and the content inherent in the form, one set looking at the ideologies that came to form the discipline of history in the nineteenth century, and one set that critiques/analyzes some heroes of white's: foucault, jameson, ricoeur.
our historiography course liked the last essay (which provides a semiological reading of The Education of Henry Adams) the best."
