The Structure of Historical Narrative
Languages of publication
Abstracts
In the paper the author discusses three topics: 1) the nature of narratives in general; 2) the relation between story, plot, and argument in differentkinds of narrative history; and 3) the ways in which the employment of a set of events can endow them with different, though by no means mutuallyexclusive meanings. He suggests that what we honor as a classic historical narrative, long after we have adjudged its story na¨ıve and its argumentinvalid, is the subtlety of the emplotting procedures used in it to make of the events it describes a comprehensible dramatic unity.
