History as Complex Storytelling

College Composition and Communication Sep 1998

Kathleen A. Welsch

Abstract

History is about storytelling. And like any good narrative invested in recounting tales of forebearers, its aim is not only to create an image of the past but a way of understanding what we see… It allows us to place ourselves as participants in an historical tradition, parts of which we wish to claim and others which we would prefer to distance ourselves from. (Welsch 116).
