Summary:Abstract The article argues that literary history and historiography ought to be revitalized as central concerns for literary studies. A critical discussion of the arguments raised against literary historiography in the early 1980s serves as the article’s point of departure, while the main section analyzes the concept of Romanticism as it has been used in various historical classifications of Norwegian literature.
