"Metahistoriography: The Historical Imagination of Europe in the 19th Century (Humanities and Social Translation Series)" points out that any historical work contains a deep structure, a paradigm that is accepted without criticism, which is both poetic and linguistic. The book takes eight representative historical thinkers of the 19th century as examples to demonstrate the dominant metaphors used in their historical writings, thus confirming the ubiquitous poetic nature of historical works.
