Rezensionen

"François Hartog is perhaps the most important historian of historiography today... Regimes of Historicity should be required reading for anyone interested in the past, present, and future writing of history." - American Historical Review

"In a book that should be required reading for anyone interested in history's role in contemporary society, Hartog shows how unexamined assumptions about the past shape our understandings of ourselves and our place in history." - Lynn Hunt, Distinguished Professor, UCLA
