- Title
Constructing the Past in the Early Middle Ages: The Case of the Royal Frankish Annals.
- Authors
McKitterick, Rosamond
- Abstract
HUMAN beings are in a perpetual dialogue with the past from their vantage point in the present. St Augustine put this most succinctly when he discussed what he thought of as ‘three times’, that is, ‘a present concerning past things; a present concerning present things and a present concerning future things. For these three are in the spirit and I do not see them elsewhere: the present concerning past things is memory; the present concerning present things is perception; the present concerning future things is expectation’.
