Abstract
This chapter is about historiographical competition. It discusses the emergence of a full-fledged historiographical field, the circumstances that created it, the forces that shaped it, and the scholarship it produced. Special emphasis is put on the significance of history writing in a semicolonial environment. It ends with a preliminary comment about the actual experience of history writing in an atmosphere of political rivalry and struggle for independence. In discussing these issues, it examines a body of literature written during the twenty-five years that preceded the 1952 Revolution and analyzes its various perceptions of early modern Egyptian history from 1798/1805 to 1882.
