This volume brings new depth to the analysis of historical distance
by looking at its importance in fields that extend far beyond the
usual bounds of history, including psychoanalysis and the visual
and performing arts. Its sources include 19th century British
sculpture, musical theatre, and late 18th and 19th century fashion
plates. The book offers general introductory discussions of how
historical distance might best be understood in contemporary
historiography, of changing ideals of distance and proximity as
they have taken shape in Western thought from the Renaissance to
modernity and of historical judgments and their meanings. It
includes a range of essays that explore the importance of distance
in relation to a number of different problems and periods,
including how the use of historical distance as a framework might
offer new ways of distinguishing literary fictions from histories,
or a new understanding of the changing pattern of biography over
the past two centuries. The range of forms and media covered by the
essays in this collection greatly expands not only ways of thinking
about historical distance, but the nature and meaning of history.
By incorporating this wide range of different material and an
equally wide range of approaches, the volume gives the discussion
of historical distance a new breadth, flexibility and importance.

writing in English internationally, but historical and

are also examined. Brief biographies of individual writers are
