    Open AccessR F BerkhoferCHAPTERFashioning History2008

    T exts became the chief focus of historians as they professionalized in the nineteenth century. Source criticism and the historical method principally dealt with documentary evidence.

    Self-Reflections on Beyond the Great Story: The Ambivalent Author as Ironic Interlocutor Robert F. Berkhofer Jr. (bio) It is truly flattering to have such thoughtful scholars read so carefully one’s book. Their diverse comments prove once again the basic truth of reader-response or reception theory: the same text is read in varying ways by different scholars. As a corollary of this principle: no text can be all things to all persons and all inter…

    Open AccessR F BerkhoferARTICLEAmerican Quarterly1989Cited by: 5References: 1

    War II was the effort to escape the narrow focus of the New Criticism in favor of a broader interpretation based upon contextual study. Context seemed to be found in a vague but polysemic definition of culture. Under the rubric of culture, scholars of America in disciplines as diverse as music, art, literature, and intellectual history believed that they were all studying and thereby constituting a common context in order to move beyond the speci…
