There have been serious debates between historians, novelists
and filmmakers as to how best present historical narratives. When
writers and filmmakers talk of using historical research with
integrity, what exactly do they mean? Integrity and Historical
Research examines this question in detail. The first chapter
discusses the concept of integrity. The chapters that follow
reflect on this philosophical treatment in the light of fiction and
film that deals with history in a number of ways. How should
writers and filmmakers use lives? Can, and may, people who are now
dead and who may have lived long ago, be defamed?
The authors include academics, historians, social historians,
medievalists, oral historians, literary theorists, historical
novelists and script writers. They examine the theoretical
influences and practical choices that involve and concern writers
and filmmakers who rely on historical research. The desire to be
accurate may often conflict with the need to produce a work that
goes beyond the mere depiction of events in order to excite the
interest of readers and to hold that interest. At the same time
there is a developing emphasis on historians, to write well in
clear, accessible prose, which may involve using the novelists
techniques. How much license may be given to writers of fiction and
filmmakers in their depiction of historical characters and events?
This book begins to answer this question, while inviting further
discussion.
The Secret Lies Within in an inside-out look at the trauma and pain
so many people experience in this lifetime and how breaking the
silence is the first step to freedom. Many people experience trauma
or pain and keep it to themselves, letting it become a secret that
holds them captive. They live with pain, blame, and shame, unsure
of what to do or how to break free. The secrets grow, causing
people to become increasingly silent while they hope and pray for
better days, struggling to believe they will ever come. The Secret
Lies Within is an honest, vulnerable, and courageous narrative
about nearly losing everything, breaking the silence of secrets,
and finding purpose in pain. Auntie Anne Beiler, founder of the
international franchise Auntie Anne's pretzels, shares her journey
through the loss of a child, sexual abuse, and the resulting trauma
that haunted her for years, reminding readers they are not alone in
their pain. Anne weaves brief stories of other brave individuals
throughout her own and presents a picture of hope for those who
have experienced trauma. Those with deep secrets of their own are
encouraged to break their silence and are shown the power to
overcome through confession and reach a whole new level of freedom.
