Book Description
Excerpt from Womankind in Western Europe: From the Earliest Times to the Seventeenth Century I consider that the line of division in Western Europe between the old society and the new, as far as we can make anything like a line, lies through the earlier years of the seventeenth century, the com mencement of the reign of Louis XIII. In France and that of Charles I. In England. When I entered upon this subject, my idea was to write a complete history of Womankind in the West, and to continue it down to our own time but I found, as 1 advanced with it, that I was undertaking a task which, to be carried out properly and completely.

Imperfect Histories
Author: Ann Rigney
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501729683
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Imperfect Histories puts "imperfection" at the heart of a theory of historical representation. Ann Rigney shows how historical writing involves dealing with intractable subjects that resist our efforts to know and to shape them. Those who write history, she says, engage in an ongoing struggle to match up what they find relevant in the past with the information and interpretive models at their disposal. Chronic dissatisfaction is at the heart of historical practice. This is especially evident in the various attempts made over the last two centuries to write an "alternative" history of everyday experience. Focusing on historical writing in the last decades of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth, Rigney analyzes a wide range of works by Walter Scott, Jules Michelet, Augustin Thierry, and Thomas Carlyle. She shows how the attempt to write an alternative history brought historical writing into a close yet fraught relationship with literature. The result is a new account of that relationship as it took shape in the romantic period and as it continues to influence contemporary practices.
