Through the detective work of uncovering a wide variety of stories or microhistories from fragments, Ginzburg takes on the bigger questions: How do we draw the line between truth and fiction? What is the relationship between history and memory? Stories range from medieval Europe, the inquisitional trial of a witch, seventeenth-century antiquarianism, and twentieth-century historians."--Provided by publisher.HistoriographyPhilosophyLiterature and historyHistoryErrors, inventions, etcTruthCollective memoryacademics.early modern europe.essay collection.europe.firsthand experience.historians.historical conventions.historical nonfiction.historical perspective.historical truth.historical.historiography.history.jewish experience.jewish studies.literary criticism.literary critics.memory.neoskepticism.nonfiction essays.philosophy.political.positivism.poststructuralism.retrospective.truth and fiction.writing history.HistoriographyPhilosophy.Literature and history.HistoryErrors, inventions, etc.Truth.Collective memory.907.2HIS010000bisacshGinzburg Carlo142458MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781511603321Threads and traces3748188UNINA
