Abstract:
The purpose of the paper is to investigate the historiography of the 19th century Habsburg monarchy based on the example of two prominent historians – Mihály Horváth and František Palacký. The first part is concerned with the fundamental processes, which influenced the historiography of the 19th century, the second part provides a small comparison of the two historians. This study shows how historians partially lost the enlightened call for the „universal” and how they gradually entered the national frame of thinking.
