Reception history

Reception history

According to Harold Marcuse ( [http://www.history.ucsb.edu/faculty/marcuse/receptionhist.htm] ), reception history is "the history of the meanings that have been imputed to historical events. It traces the different ways in which participants, observers, historians and other retrospective interpreters have attempted to make sense of events both as they unfolded and over time since then, to make those events meaningful for the present in which they lived and live."
