Abstract

Historical narrative is a way of thinking about politics, and a species of political thought. Political societies develop narratives of their past actions, the institutions by which, and the contexts in which, these actions have been performed; and in these narratives, constantly rewritten, they view the many ways in which their histories are to be understood, criticized and contained. These are thick narratives, difficult for the members of each society to understand, and even more difficult for the members of other societies. This is probably as it should be.
