Summary:

The work introduces the topic of historical writing in fictional and non-fictional contexts, methodologies and approaches. The author analyses historiography and historical novels and shows how a confabulation is evident in these works, and how these are transacting modes in a single paradigm. The book uses the theoretical construct of the "Aesthetics Ethic." It looks at varied aesthetic contours in lived experience, a given "social ethic," histories of sensibilities, and what is termed a "narrative ethic", and goes on to look at "Narrative consciousness and historical experience: Living links," with analysis comprising narrative consciousness, psychological concepts including subjectivity and objectivity, and "the importance of thought." The book also introduces a new theoretical model of historical truth apprehension.The examination of fictionalized history and historicized fiction examines aesthetic contours including point of view and the concept of "becoming" in fiction and history; heteroglossia and intertextuality; the conceptions of contingency, metaphor, modality, and chaos; and temporality and rhetoric. It conclude with thoughts and summaries to bring the whole work into focus.
