The second volume of The Ethics of Narrative completes the project of bringing together nearly all of Hayden White’s uncollected essays from the last two decades of his life, including articles, essays, and previously unpublished lectures . As in the first volume, volume 2 features White’s trenchant articulations of his influential theories, as well as his explorations of a wide range of ideas and authors at the frontiers of critical theory, literature, and historical studies. These include the concept of utopia in history, modernism and postmodernism, constructivism, the conceptualization of historical periods such as ‘the Sixties’ and ‘the Enlightenment, ‘ the representation of the Holocaust in scholarly and literary writing, as well as essays on Frank Kermode, Saul Friedländer, and Krzysztof Pomian.
