Fictions of the self and the state : gender and innocence.Interpreting textual mediations of history in early modernity, this volume adds nuance to our understanding of the contributions fiction and fictionalizing make to the shape and texture of versions of and debates about history during that period. Geographically, the scope of the essays extends beyond Europe and England to include Asia and Africa. Contributors take a number of different approaches to understand the relationship between history, fiction, and broader themes in early modern culture. They analyze the ways fiction writers use historical sources, fictional texts translate ideas about the past into a vernacular accessible to broad audiences, fictional depictions and interpretations shape historical action, and the ways in which nonfictional texts and accounts were given fictional histories of their own, intentionally or not, through transmission and interpretation. By combining the already contested idea of fiction with performance, action, and ideas/ideology, this collection provides a more thorough consideration of fictional histories in the early modern period. It also covers more than two centuries of primary material, providing a longer perspective on the changing and complex role of history in forming early modern national, gendered, and cultural identities.Prose literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismLiterature and societyHistory16th centuryLiterature and historyHistory17th centuryLiterature and historyHistory16th centuryLiterature and societyHistory17th centuryImaginationHistory16th centuryImaginationHistory17th centuryProse literatureHistory and criticism.Literature and societyHistoryLiterature and historyHistoryLiterature and historyHistoryLiterature and societyHistoryImaginationHistoryImaginationHistory809/.933582Kavey Allison1977-876565Ketner Elizabeth1712574MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822920203321Imagining early modern histories4104850UNINA
