What do they argue about the topic? What do they conclude?
What do prior studies agree on? Where do they disagree?
What major questions remain?
What are the strengths, weaknesses and gaps of existing work? The aim of a historiographical (or literature) review is to:

to compare and contrast the various arguments related to your topic
to fix your topic in a theoretical or conceptual framework
to discover what research has already been done in that area.
