- Summary:
- "Faking It analyzes Victorian novels containing supposedly authentic transcriptions of letters, diary entries, memoirs, travelogues, witness testimonies, newspaper clippings, and other documentary evidence that purportedly verify a narrative's claims of truth. Stockstill argues for a reexamination of the documentary novel's affordances and even flexibility despite the form's inherent constraints"-- Provided by publisher.
