Does historical fiction have potentially dangerous consequences? In some countries it is as an aid to nation-building while in others it is considered a bastardization of history. This program delves into aspects of historical fiction that range from Biblical narratives to the conquest of the New World and images of the Native American to the question of historical fiction as a “female” or “illegitimate” literary genre. Join us as we explore the nexus between Biblical narrative and Latin American and English language epics and contemporary historical fiction publishing ventures.
