- This 108, 000-word monograph makes a contribution to our understanding of the historiography of popular texts. The book considers how the past and imaginative art are bound up in the praxis termed ‘historical fiction’. It analyses the ways in which the past, and the contemporary relationship to it, is represented. Wide-ranging in its analysis, the book engages with films, TV series, novels, critical and cultural theory, and key work on historiography. It is fundamentally interdisciplinary, considering ways of using cultural artefacts in historical theory.
