This study examines how and why national narratives are perpetuated in English and Dutch history textbooks between circa 1920-2010. Van der Vlies examined history textbooks as layered narratives in which stories of different periods and events overlap, interfuse and interact.
By scrutinizing these networks of memory and the generated chain of meaning, this study revealed widespread frames of references and schemata in the narration of (national) history.
