Shortlisted for the William Atheling Jr Award for Criticism or
Review Fiction plays a vital role in describing history and
transmitting culture. How writers understand and use history can
play an equally important role in how they navigate a novel. This
book explores the nature of the author's relationship with history
and fiction - often using writers' own words - as well as the role
history plays in fiction. Focusing on genre fiction, this study
considers key issues in the relationship between history and
fiction, such as how writers contextualise the history they use in
their fiction and how they incorporate historical research. The
book also addresses the related topic of world building using
history, discussing the connections between the science fiction
writers' notion of world building and the scholarly understanding
of story space and explaining the mechanics of constructing the
world of the novel. This book places the writing of fiction into a
wider framework of history and writing and encourages dialogue
between writers and historians.
