AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Bickerton examines the nature of historical truth, asking questions such as "what is truth?" and "what constitutes good historical writing?" He asks the reader to consider whether a "verse novel in which the vast majority of individuals and events are not actual or real in any literal sense [can] be regarded as an authentic historical text?" (p.24)
