Writing the Nation Into History

This article considers the fruits of an elaborate multi-year European Science Foundation (ESF)-sponsored research project on the reciprocal dynamics joining nineteenth- and twentieth-century historiography to the varying trajectories of European state-formation. It reads the culminating volume in the eight-book series sponsored by this ESF project against the wider associated discussions and the larger context of the contemporary historiography of nationalism. It seeks to draw out the defining features of the approach involved (conceptually, methodologically, intellectually, politically), while pointing to a number of the entailments and lacunae. In particular, it considers some of the attenuations and omissions resulting from the adoption of an overly institutional and "top-down" approach to the chosen thematic of "nation and narration
