The Content of the Form
The secret of the process by which consciousness invests history with meaning resides in "the content of the form, in the way our narrative capacities transform the present into a fulfillment of a past from which we would wish to have descended.

Publisher Description
Deconstructing History
In "Deconstructing History," Alan Munslow examines history in the postmodern age, providing an introduction to the topics and debates inherent in a postmodern approach to history. Detailing both empiricist and deconstruction issues and considering the arguments of both schools, Munslow debates the position that not only is history defined as the textual product of historians but also that narrative may provide the textual model for the past itself. An examination of the character of historical evidence and an exploration of the role of historians as well as a discussion of the failure of traditional historical models is included. Munslow maps the controversies involved in and assesses the merits of the deconstructionist position, arguing that instead of beginning with past events themselves, history begins with representations of the past.
