Riassunto

allegorical--that is, literary--in nature, and that all claims to historical truth must be viewed in this light. He shows how narrative or interpretive language produces historical meaning--and how this meaning is reached at the expense not only of the historical "facts" but also of the purported intent (or "storyline") of the narrative itself. "Any inquiry into [history as allegory] will have to begin with Bahti's work."--Peter Fenves, 'MLN' "Valuable and illuminating."--'American Historical Review.
