Anotace:
The author of the article points out the main shifts in Hayden White’s reflection on
narrative history writing. These shifts are related to his emphasis on the role of tropes and figures in dealing with the problem of narrative representation in the past. In the author’s view,
White’s works challenge a traditional understanding of history, while stressing terminal validity
and plurality in narrative representations of historical reality. He also points out that Czech and
Slovak scholars used some aspects of Hayden White’s understanding of history for explaining
different representations of history.
