ASLT4012
Year:
2009
Levels:
Undergraduate - Honours This seminar examines a range of true fictions about the past that circulate in the public domain as literature. Students will read a diverse array of historical fictions in the light of ideas drawn from theorists of literature and historiography. In what ways have historians deployed literary devices? How have literary authors shaped the novel both as a genre of public history and as a form of historigraphic metafiction? What is gained and/or lost by packaging and disseminating history as fiction? What can be learned by using literary theory and textual analysis to understand the dynamics of scholarly historical narrative? And finally, how have literary authors and their critics become entangled in Australia's on-going history wars.
