Summary:""History" occupies a central, yet ambiguous position in both eighteenth-century studies and postmodernism. Making History (together with its companion volume, Questioning History: The Postmodern Turn to the Eighteenth Century) is a collection of essays that registers this postmodern challenge, but questions its version of eighteenth-century historiography by demonstrating that historiography to be complicit with and implicit in the postmodern project itself. By identifying a dialogical rather than monological relation between postmodern and Enlightenment discourses and texts, Making History offers a theoretically and historically nuanced account of eighteenth-century cultures, and makes a timely and original contribution to the study of the eighteenth century and its dialogue with postmodernism."--BOOK JACKET.
