Every nation develops a narrative structure for thinking about history that is generated by its own historical experience. In this study, the German and Austrian-German “historias”—the way narratives of factual significance are structured as the “story” of events—are shown in their sameness from the late 1600s to the present. This “historia” shapes the emphasis of how meaning is articulated among the historians of a society. The author argues that German and Austrian-German societies would benefit from understanding the constrictions and oversights generated by the narrative style of their traditional historias.

This study is a significant demonstration of the importance of historia and the narrative construction of historical identity in the distinct German and Austrian-German cultures. The scope of the research, the depth of analysis, and the rigor of the argument all reflect Mark Blum's experience as an intellectual historian. It is hard to think of another scholar with the sympathy and imagination to do this work. Blum writes as if he knew these historians, writers, and philosophers personally.
