About this book

Metahistory: The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Europe by White, Hayden. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780801817618.

In Whites view, beyond the surface level of the historical text, there is a deep structural, or latent, content that is generally poetic and specifically linguistic in nature. This deeper content - the metahistorical element - indicates what an "appropriate" historical explanation should be.
