Narrating the deed produces negotiations of the political that can be observed in narratives, dramas, and manifestos. This volume examines the specific form of the deed and its function for the political by looking at texts that were published between 1773 and 2014, producing a diachronic reading of the deed that focuses on historical constellations of the political.
