No, "this" is a pronoun.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

It's a noun that has an agent and a contract.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Pronoun: any of a small set of words in a language that are used as substitutes for nouns or noun phrases and whose referents are named or understood in the context.
Example: "him" as a substitute for "The mighty dAN"

Have you asked me this before? I apologise for not replying earlier. My avatar is of Mr Darcy from the bbc's production of Pride and Prejudice.
