TAG: GRAND NARRATIVE
As fragmentation was a main problem for reconstruction of American historiography,
most American historians appealed for the synthesis of history. But some historians
considered that the resolution was not the synthesis but to reconstruct the grand
narrative of history. Grand narrative in American historiography revealed itself
differently on different historical stages. For the influence of various factors,
American historiography after World War II tended to be alien from the grand narrative.
So historians lamented the loss of grand narrative and gave a lot of designs of
reconstruction of it. These designs confronted some problems, which theoretically
resulted from the lack of grand social theory and the deconstruction of post-modernism.
