The trick is to encapsulate all this in a story that makes sense to those who hear it, for politics is not inherently or self-evidently coherent. To the extent that it is itself historically continuous, the public discourse of a society performs precisely this function.

At this point discursive continuity and academic history can stand as partners in the same enterprise.31
