Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
"This volume brings new depth to the analysis of historical distance by looking at
its importance in fields that extend far beyond the usual bounds of history, including
psychoanalysis and the visual and performing arts. Its sources include 19th century
British sculpture, musical theatre, and late 18th and 19th century fashion plates.
The book offers general introductory discussions of how historical distance might
best be understood in contemporary historiography, of changing ideals of distance
and proximity as they have taken shape in Western thought from the Renaissance to
modernity and of historical judgments and their meanings. It includes a range of essays
that explore the importance of distance in relation to a number of different problems
and periods, including how the use of historical distance as a framework might offer
new ways of distinguishing literary fictions from histories, or a new understanding
of the changing pattern of biography over the past two centuries. The range of forms
and media covered by the essays in this collection greatly expands not only ways of
thinking about historical distance, but the nature and meaning of history. By incorporating
this wide range of different material and an equally wide range of approaches, the
volume gives the discussion of historical distance a new breadth, flexibility and
importance. "--
