TY - JOUR AB - <p>During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries a new form of historiography developed<br>in Europe under the influence of 'antiquarianism'. lts novel approach to the proper handling<br>of historical sources and divergent writing style represented a drastic break from traditional<br>historiographical ideals. 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> AU - Lydia Janssen DA - 2014/1// DO - 10.21825/kzm.v68i0.17476 IS - 0 VL - 68 PB - Koninklijke Zuid-Nederlandse Maatschappij voor Taal- en Letterkunde en Geschiedenis PY - 2014 TI - Historiografie tussen literatuur en wetenschap: Een dubbele traditie in vroegmoderne nationale geschiedschrijving T2 - Handelingen - Koninklijke Zuid-Nederlandse maatschappij voor taal- en letterkunde en geschiedenis UR - https://openjournals.ugent.be/kzm/article/id/72072/ ER -
