Tre recenti biografie di Ranke

2018

Three newly issued biographies deal with the life of Leopold von Ranke in very different ways. The essay underlines the strengths and the weaknesses of each one of them and raises some questions about the meaning of this scholarly interest in Ranke. Finally, it provides some considerations on the difficulty of defining, even now, the figure of the German historian.
