In the twentieth century, the boundaries between different literary
genres started to be questioned, raising a discussion about the
various narrative modes of factual and fictional discourses. Moving
on from the limited traditional studies of genre definitions, this
book argues that the borders between these two types of discourse
depend on complex issues of epistemology, literary traditions and
social and political constraints. This study attempts a systematic
and specific analysis of how literary works, and in particular
documentary ones, where the borders are more difficult to define,
can be classified as factual or fictional. The book deals with
several areas of discourse, including history, travel tales,
autobiography and reportage, and opens up perspectives on the very
different ways in which documentary works make use of the
inescapable presence of both factual and fictional elements.
