Was Berbiguier harassed by imps? Maybe Jules Verne did belong to a secret society. Have any works been inspired by dreams—or by insanity?...

Para un conocimiento histórico a cabalidad, no basta con estudiar el pasado a través de un libro, sino que es preciso conocer sobre la persona que lo escribió. Este primer tomo de La historiografía chilena pretende, justamente, saber quiénes y cómo eran los historiadores que han construido la imagen de Chile entre 1842 y 1920.
