Literature as History / History as Literature : Fact and Fiction in Medieval to Eighteenth-century British Literature

Bok av Sonja Fielitz
This volume assembles critical essays on the relationship between historiography and fiction from the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century and beyond. The contributions stem from distinguished scholars, junior faculty and Ph.D.-students, and thus represent a wide range of critical approaches and interests. All of the essays in the book, however, reflect recent debates about the tenacity of postmodernist epistemologies and the attendant revaluation of positivistic methodologies.
