讲座内容:
Historical novels make up a strange genre that challenge post-modern literary theories about fictionality and possible worlds. Even if we read them intertextually, i.e. in comparison with non-fictional texts, namely historical sources or historiography, it is hard to get rid of the impression that they try to tell what really happened. Postmodern metafiction tried to drastically deconstruct such ideas, which makes us inclined to read older (not postmodern) historical novels also as theoretical essays on historicity. It is obvious that historical novels are less about the past than the present, but it is hardly a too daring hypothesis that in ages of anxiety the interest in the past usually grows. The boom of historical television series show a delicate balance of necessary anachronism and defamiliarization, which makes the audience face the radical otherness of the past.
