DESCRIPTION:Some historical events can become important anchors in the nar
 ration of the past as well as in discussions about the future. While discu
 ssing the EU referendum\, for example\, David Cameron referred to the Engl
 ish defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. This ‘event’ was also evoked
  during the Napoleonic Wars and the two World Wars. Historical events prov
 ide frameworks for observing and understanding the present. In this proces
 s of framing\, the mechanism of ‘keying’ plays an important role: in o
 rder to make sense of the world\, people can ‘key’ present experiences
  or more recent episodes to specific past events by way of historical anal
 ogies. Van der Vlies explores these processes of framing and keying in Eng
 lish and Dutch history textbooks\, published for students between the ages
  of 11-14 in the period 1920-200\, in order to gain more insight into poss
 ible patterns while narrating and interpreting the past. Textbook narratio
 ns that combine different histories\, places and times in a productive way
  generate meaning from historical combinations. The study of these cross-r
 eferences between histories in textbooks can reveal widespread frames of r
 eferences and possible schemata in the narration of (national) history. \n
