ON THE TROPICS OF DISCOURSE BY HAYDEN WHITE, FROM THE DISCUSSIONS OF DAVOOD GOZLI, JOHN DAVID, AND O.G. ROSE Are we visiting a building or exploring a town, and should historians be more like novelists? I recently had the pleasure of joining Davood Gozli for a conversation on the work of Hayden White, particularly an essay called “The Burden of History.” Davood is a great conversationalist, and Mr. White outlines a useful and productive way to think of discourse, hopefully one I won’t forget.
