Working from a discourse analysis perspective, Muller examines how a national art history was constituted through its linguistic construction and transmission. The study demonstrates how German art history was manufactured through language, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries. The study operates at the interface between text linguistics, the history of concepts and the history of words and makes an important contribution to the history of national consciousness. "
