The author of the article presents Hayden White’s understanding of historicalnarrative. This tropological understanding of history emphasizes common constructiveprocesses in the writing of fiction and historical narrative. According toWhite, historians use fictive elements (narrative structures) in writing historicalnarratives, which are important for their understanding. This is the opposite viewto the traditional “scientific” understanding of historical narratives which supposethat the significance of literary dimension of historical narrative disappears in theprocess of creating one universal narrative about the past. Contemporary postmodernculture supports radical plurality of historical narratives, which reduces thepossibility of writing such a universal historical narrative. From the point of view ofthe author, the developing era of digitalization will have a negative impact on literaryskill of young generation as well as the writing of historical narrative.

The article deals with two approaches to constructing a historical narrative: that of Hayden White, who considers historical narratives to be narrative interpretations. He argues that the plurality of historical narratives arises from the plurality of narrative forms used in the representations of the past. For M. Mandelbaum, N. Carroll and D. Carr on the other side the historical representation of the past is a sort of map or copy of reality. According to the author, both conceptions face the problem of selecting those historical narratives, which would not provoke objections on the side of historians. He argues that constructing a historical narrative associates necessarily with different interpretations of sources as well as different representations of the past.
