ДУХ АЛЕГОРИЈЕ И МЕТАИСТОРИЧНОСТ У РОМАНУ АРДЕН ФРЕДЕРИКА ВЕРЖЕА
SPIRIT OF ALLEGORY AND METAHISTORY IN THE NOVEL ARDEN BY FREDERIC VERGER

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we show how allegorical narratives of the history function, or the process of its writing is applied. In light of the allegorical, novel Arden is metahistory, and also the apology of individual history, individual truth about the Second World War, but also represents the lives of those who survived the war. In this novel, allegory is presented in two components – the first relates to the generally accepted interpretation of the historic Battle of the Arden in Second World War and the events that preceded it, and the second plan, which we are here concerned, refers to the process of writing history, or metahistory. Relying on Benjamin’s theory of allegory and White’s theory of metahistory, we see the way in which this novel is entered in the postmodern tradition of narrating the history and its pluralism, and all this in an allegorical light.
