One should view Rae's excessive use of alcohol against the background of conditions in the Transvaal miners' settlements, where gangsterism, gambling, prostitution, alcohol abuse and similar vices were rife at the turn of the nineteenth century. From Bousfield's letters, one gets the impression that alcohol abuse among clergymen was not restricted to a few isolated incidents: see CPSA: AB. 383 BOUSFIELD, letter-book 27 July–22 June 1892, p. 541: H.B.

  • 1973 . Metahistory The approach to Rae and Sonntag's texts used in this investigation, is, of course, far removed from the ‘modes of emplotment’ applied by Hayden White in (Baltimore. The following quotations do, however, give an indication of the way White has encouraged an overall rethinking of historians' application of their sources: … neither the form nor the explanatory power of narrative derives from the different contents (“facts” or “invention”) it is presumed to be able to accommodate. In point of fact history—the real world as it evolves in time—is made sense of in the same way that the poet or novelist tries to make sense of it, it is, by endowing what originally appears to be problematical and mysterious with the aspect of a recognisable, because it is familiar, form. It does not matter whether the world is conceived to be real or only imagined;the manner of making sense of it is the same.’ And: ‘In my view, history as a discipline is in bad shape today because it has lost sight of its origins in the literary imagination. In the interest of appearing scientific and objective, it has repressed and denied to itself its own greatest source of strength and renewal. By drawing historiography back once more to an intimate connection with its literary basis, we should not only be putting ourselves on guard against merely ideological distortions;we should be by way of arriving at that “theory” of history without which it cannot pass for a “discipline” at all.’ H.
