Abstract
What has not been studied in reviewing the-ories of history are the lives of historians and the manner in which they imagine history through the backdrop of their own mythologies. Ruth Meyer reimagines the writing of history by using poetry, depth psychology, her own biography as a history major at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and historians she has known personally. Rather than understand history as fact gathering, she seeks the story of the historian as both women and men now write history. Interpretation is more poetic, imaginal, literary, and interdisciplinary than the social sciences would allow. The author’s intent is to fill in the historian’s story as part of their methodology so to revision the power of history as a narrative with designs that go far beyond answering the question, “What happened?” Her work has the weight needed in history courses in order to recalibrate what fully engages us in both reading and writing history.
