This collection explores the interpretation of historical fiction
through fictional representations of the past in an Asian context.
Emphasising the significance of region and locality, it explores
local networks of political and cultural exchanges at the heart of
an Asian polity. The book considers how imagined pasts converge and
diverge in developed and developing nations, and examines the
limitations of representation at a time when theories of world
literature are shaping the way we interpret global histories and
cultures. The collection calls attention to the importance of
acknowledging local tensions-both within the historical and
cultural make-up of a country, and within the Asian continent-in
the interpretation of historical fiction. It emphasizes a
broad-spectrum view that privileges the shared historical
experiences of a group of countries in close proximity, and it also
responds to the paradigm shift in Asian Studies. Discussing how
local conditions shape and create expectations of how we read
historical fiction and working with the theme of fictionality and
locality, the volume provides an alternative framework for the
study of world literature.
