This collection of essays by some of the most distinguished
historians and literary scholars in the English-speaking world
explores the overlap, interplay, and interaction between history
and fiction in British imaginative and historical writing from the
Tudor period to the Enlightenment. The historians discuss the
questions of truth, fiction, and the contours of early modern
historical culture, while the literary scholars consider some of
the fictional aspects of history, and the historical aspects of
fiction, in prose narratives of many sorts. The interests and
inquiries of these learned, imaginative, and venturesome scholars
cross at many points, casting significant new light on and offering
numerous insights into the problematic and interdisciplinary areas
where 'history' and 'story' meet, interact, and sometimes compete.
Despite the theoretical questions posed, the discussions primarily
focus on concrete works, including those of Thomas More, John Foxe,
Thomas Hobbes, Adam Smith, and Edward Gibbon.
