Abstract
In 1957, Hannah Arendt published the work Rahel Varnhagen, the life of a German Jew in the age of Romanticism. The book, almost all of it, was written in the early 1930s and only the preface dates from its publication. Based on this work, this article will seek to analyze Hannah Arendt’s contribution to the biographical narrative, the tension between History and the relationship between History and politics.
