This book offers a comprehensive Possible Worlds framework with
which to analyse counterfactual historical fiction. Counterfactual
historical fiction is a literary genre that comprises narratives
set in worlds whose histories run contrary to the history of our
world, usually speculating on what would have happened had a
significant historical event (such as a war) turned out
differently. The author develops a systematic critical approach
based on a customised model of Possible Worlds Theory supplemented
by cognitive concepts that account for the different processes that
readers go through when they read counterfactual historical
fiction, a genre which relies heavily on pre-existing knowledge
about history and culture. This book will be of interest to anyone
working with Possible Worlds, including within the fields of
philosophy, literary studies, stylistics, cognitive poetics, and
narratology.
