In an engaging and wide-ranging analysis, Herman Paul discusses White's core ideas and traces the development of these ideas from the mid-1950s to the present. Starting with White's medievalist research and youthful fascination for French existentialism, Paul shows how White became increasingly convinced that historical writing is a moral activity. He goes on to argue that the critical concepts that have secured White's fame - trope, plot, discourse, figural realism - all stem from his desire to explicate the moral claims and perceptions underlying historical writing. White emerges as a passionate thinker, a restless rebel against scientism, and a defender of existentialist humanist values.This innovative introduction will appeal to students and scholars across the humanities, and help develop a critical understanding of an increasingly important thinker.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51952362193184,"sku":"NEW0745650147","price":31.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/hayden-white-0745650147","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
