Summary: | Student Number : 0420532W -
MA research report -
School of Literature and Language Studies -
Faculty of Humanities === In this Theoretical Introduction the reasons for the choice of the historical fiction genre
for the creative component of this Research Report will become clear in relation to other
notable examples of the genre, indeed the academic essay will revolve around primary
concerns with regard to the narrative of historical fiction and the debates around the
representation that the work engages.
In the postscript to the academic essay the possible destination for publication will be
considered, as well as a summation of the writing and revision process, and a rumination
of the projected readership or audience. As the creative component will be submitted in
partial form, the postscript to the theoretical introduction will extrapolate the rest of the
project, so as to provide some sense of the intended eventual work.
Finally a special thanks to Ashleigh Harris, whose untiring help and encouragement is
deeply appreciated; and to my husband, Norman, whose concern and enormous patience
has sustained this endeavour.
