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. 606 $aProse literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and society$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aLiterature and history$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aLiterature and history$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aLiterature and society$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aImagination$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aImagination$xHistory$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aProse literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aImagination$xHistory 615 0$aImagination$xHistory 676 $a809/.933582 701 $aKavey$b Allison$f1977-$0876565 701 $aKetner$b Elizabeth$0876566 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467598303321 996 $aImagining early modern histories$91957356 997 $aUNINA
