    "Focusing on historical writing in the last decades of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth, Rigney analyzes a wide range of works by Walter Scott, Jules Michelet, Augustin Thierry, and Thomas Carlyle. She shows how the attempt to write an alternative history brought historical writing into a close yet fraught relationship with literature. The result is a new account of that relationship as it took shape in the romantic period and as it continues to influence contemporary practices."--Jacket "Imperfect Histories puts "imperfection" at the heart of a theory of historical representation. Ann Rigney shows how historical writing involves dealing with intractable subjects that resist our efforts to know and to shape them. Those who write history, she says, engage in an ongoing struggle to match up what they find relevant in the past with the information and interpretive models at their disposal. Chronic dissatisfaction is at the heart of historical practice. This dissatisfaction is especially evident in the various attempts made over the last two centuries to write an "alternative" history of everyday experience." 1.Hybridity: The Case of Sir Walter Scott --2.Representability: Cultural History and the Fear of Long Books --3.Sublimity: Thomas Carlyle and the Aesthetics of Historical Ignorance --4.Literature and the Longing for History.
