Abstract
This article examines the role of imagination in historiography and argues that historical writing is not a purely mechanical reproduction of the past. It situates modern historical method and its later critiques, then focuses on the American context where renewed approaches reshaped narrative and explanation. Imagination is presented as an epistemic tool that bridges gaps in documentation while remaining constrained by critical verification.
