In this paper, I wish to explore this scholarly development<br>from a comparative perspective on the basis of a small corpus of early modern<br>national histories. I will focus attention on two complementary aspects of these works<br>which are particularly revelatory of the scholarly views which influenced their composition:<br>the handling of historical sources and the style of the text. These two dimensions<br>present the two faces of historiography: the scientific study and the literary work and are<br>therefore particularly revelatory of the crucial shift from historiography as a literary genre<br>to historical studies as a scientific discipline which took place in this period.</p>}, month = {1}, pages = {43-58}, issn = {2736-2175}, publisher={Koninklijke Zuid-Nederlandse Maatschappij voor Taal- en Letterkunde en Geschiedenis}, journal = {Handelingen - Koninklijke Zuid-Nederlandse maatschappij voor taal- en letterkunde en geschiedenis} }
