Aristotle's neat compartmentalization notwithstanding (Poetics, ch.
9), historians and playwrights have both been laying claim to
representations of the past - arguably since Antiquity, but
certainly since the Renaissance. At a time when narratology
challenges historiographers to differentiate their "emplotments"
(White) from literary inventions, this thirteen-essay collection
takes a fresh look at the production of historico-political
knowledge in literature and the intricacies of reality and fiction.
Written by experts who teach in Germany, Austria, Russia, and the
United States, the articles provide a thorough interpretation of
early modern drama (with a view to classical times and the 19th
century) as an ideological platform that is as open to royal
self-fashioning and soteriology as it is to travestying and
subverting the means and ends of historical interpretation. The
comparative analysis of metapoetic and historiosophic aspects also
sheds light on drama as a transnational phenomenon, demonstrating
the importance of the cultural net that links the multifaceted
textual examples from France, Russia, England, Italy, and the
Netherlands.
