  • The Example of Clarissa and Leopold Von Ranke
    Longing and belonging within an academic family of the 19th century: the example of Clarissa and Leopold von Ranke Andreas D. Boldt Discussions about longing and belonging usually refer to the status of national, regional, ethnic, religious, social, political, groups and individuals, whether rooted or displaced. This essay proposes to adopt a different perspective and to examine the sense of longing and belonging at the level of a family unit, here a 19th-century couple, the world-renowned historian Leopold von Ranke and his wife Clarissa. How did their sense of longing and belonging differ? What was their perception of each other’s national group? How did they establish their common belonging to a state in Central Europe? Related questions, such as how to overcome classes and national belonging, how to deal with longing or transfer of belonging, languages and perceptions, will also be examined. The Rankes’ experience offers a particularly apt study-case within the context of transnational European identity. Who were Clarissa and Leopold von Ranke? Before I discuss their relations to be/longing, I wish to situate the Rankes in relation to their respective cultural backgrounds. The German historian Leopold von Ranke was born in Germany in 1795. His first Between, vol. VII, n. 13 (Maggio/ May 2017) Andreas D. Boldt, Longing and belonging within an academic family of the 19th century major work, Geschichte der romanischen und germanischen Völker von 1494 bis 1514 (History of the Latin and Teutonic Nations, 1494-1514), was published late in 1824. It was based on archival research, viewed by Ranke as the foundation of all historical work, and it established his professional reputation.

  • Leopold Von Ranke and His Development and Understanding of Modern Historical Writing
    eSharp Historical Perspectives Perception, Depiction and Description of European History: Leopold von Ranke and his Development and Understanding of Modern Historical Writing Andreas Boldt (National University of Ireland, Maynooth) For many centuries historians have sought to find ways of presenting their histories. Then and now scholars tried to determine how to perceive, depict and describe history, and across the centuries how they did this changed, varied and was revised. In recent decades this issue has become even more complex as the variety of historical topics studied widened not only into specialized fields, but also in the use of sources and the presentation of history in a written or televised form. This broadening of the field can make it more difficult to find a path to good scholarly research. To explore this issue, I have chosen, as an example, the scholar Ranke whose methods changed academic historical understanding in the nineteenth century and still influence us today. It will be my aim to investigate his influence in this article. But who was Ranke? The German historian Leopold von Ranke was born in Germany in 1795 (Iggers and Powell, 1990). His first major work, History of the Latin and Teutonic nations, 1494-1535, was published late in 1824. This was based on archival research, viewed by Ranke as the foundation of all historical work, and it established his reputation as an historian. The most influential part of the work was its appendix in which he assessed previous literature on the basis of the critical analysis of sources. For him, this was scholarly history.
