Abstract:

The one-handed hero: Inclusiveness in historical fiction for childrenHaving grown up with a sister in a wheelchair meant that I took this normalcy into the fictional world of the past. So when I crossed paths with Drem in Rosemary Sutcliff’s 1958 novel Warrior Scarlet, he was to me just a boy with one functional arm. It was not until much later that I realised he was one of the very few protagonists in historical fiction with a disability. A lack of inclusiveness is problematic, first, when it comes to readers identifying with the physical condition of the hero(ine) and, second, because, from

Abstract:

Abstract Possible Worlds Theory has commonly been invoked to describe fictional worlds and their relationship to the actual world. As an approach to genre, the relationship between fictional worlds and the actual world is also constitutive of specific text types. By drawing on the notion of accessibility relations, different genres can be classified based on the distance between their fictional worlds and the actual world. Maître, Doreen. 1983.

Abstract:

Rewriting history in creative writing involves reinterpreting, reimagining, or changing historical events, people, or periods in one's works of fiction. Authors may take a variety of approaches, from small alterations providing new insights to extensive changes deviating from history considerably. This critical rethinking of the past and its narrative representations can explore alternative histories, contest established views, and highlight the voices of people historically ignored. Several types of creative writing can be grouped under the definition of rewriting history, with each having it

Dramatized epic poem The Mountain Wreath is not a sheer projection of historical events simulating the historicity and authenticity with a view to achieve a social or cultural effect associated with uniting Montenegrin people under religious, cultural, social and ethnic grounds. The Mountain Wreath is primarily a fiction, not a faction. It is an epic work with dramaturgical elements for which there are certain historical templates. These historical templates do not give us the right to equate the poem’s ethical concept with the national strategy of the Montenegrin people. If we are dealing wit

Abstract The ambivalent attraction of feeling horror might explain some paradoxes regarding the consumption of representations of atrocities committed in the real world, in the past, on actual other people. How do horror fictions work in the transmission or exploitation of historical trauma? How might they function as prosthetic memories, at once disturbing and informative to readers who might otherwise not be exposed to those histories at all? What are the ethical implications of horror elicited by fictional representations of historical suffering? This article engages these questions through

Abstract:

The article highlights the relation of socio-culture with language, speech and fiction, being considered as semiotic systems, which allows establishing relationships between their components. The multi-faceted subordination of these systems, investigated from the mental level to linguistic implementation, has been studied. It has been shown how socio-culture is expressed in cultural codes, and they, in turn, are represented on the mental level in the concepts of statements and texts. Six main codes of culture has been characterized: somatic, spatial, temporal, object, biomorphic and spiritual.

Abstract:

Although the First World War has become history by now, the memory of the war continues to be repeatedly fictionalised: retrospectively inspired narratives are often regarded as more genuine and far-reaching than historical or documentary accounts in their rendition of the past. Yet, memory is creatively selective, reflecting a highly-conflicted process of sifting and discerning what should be remembered, neglected or amplified from the stream of war experience. In his book about Pat Barker, Mark Rawlinson argues that “historical fiction has been transformed in the post-war period by the way w

Abstract:

What people said on their deathbeds preoccupied 19th-century Protestants. Fear of the void after death or of punishment in the afterlife made death terrifying. The process of dying, however, was ritualized to negate these terrors. Having a “good death” constituted reassurance for the dying, comfort for the family, and a lesson for the community. Such comfort was available even from fictional deathbed scenes, where sentiment and imagery softened the harsh reality. This interdisciplinary study explores the similarities between real and fictional deathbed narratives, using a sample of 19th-centur

This paper examines American female transgressors from the early colonial period to the late postmodern age and their representations in American literature. Its main aim is to identify the most relevant female offenders from each historical era and analyze how authors portray their characters in each literary work. Furthermore, it offers different insights into the social, cultural, political, and jurisprudential contexts of the murder cases of each female perpetrator under discussion. The paper also compares fiction to non-fiction literary texts and the similarities and differences contribut

Abstract:

The lighthouse has long been a familiar setting for stories of love, conflict, and epiphany. That isolated tower on the clifftop brims with symbolic possibility and sometimes cliché, positioning it as a site of gendered love, with popular fiction titles embedding the trope of the contained world revolving, like the lit lamp, around the male authority. But the lighthouse also has an explicit historical situatedness. The nineteenth century British lighthouses, in particular, were seen as outposts of empire. They are immovable inscriptions of the outlines of islands, the edges of continents – the

This article explores the critical framework of tropical futurisms as presented in Namwali Serpell’s The Old Drift (2019), a novel that intertwines Zambia’s colonial past, postcolonial realities, and speculative futures. Serpell’s narrative challenges dominant, Eurocentric historical perspectives and reclaims Zambia’s agency through the themes of decoloniality, ecological resilience, and technological entanglements. By juxtaposing colonial infrastructure projects like the Kariba Dam with speculative innovations such as microdrones and bioengineering, Serpell critiques the exploitation of Afric

This study investigates a female protagonist’s suicide attempts in Ogwonjaehapgiyeon, a work of fiction written in the late Joseon Dynasty. So far, one of the most interesting points in the work involves a female protagonist who tried to kill herself six times but survived. Nevertheless, her suicide attempts in fiction have not been structurally analyzed. I examined scenes and the corresponding meanings of the protagonist’s suicide attempts in Ogwonjaehapgiyeon.

Abstract:

Until the present millennium, very little creative literary writing in either English or Spanish had been published in the British colonial enclave of Gibraltar. Given the small population size of the autonomous community of some 30,000 people, it was considered unlikely that a “national” literary culture could form. In the course of the past decade, a handful of dedicated writers have published a noticeable amount of fiction, all of which is concerned with establishing a recognized Gibraltarian literary identity.

ABSTRACT This article revisits the utopian fiction of German science-fiction writer and poet Paul Scheerbart, considering the place of race and gender in his fantastical glass architectural spaces. This is primarily done through a reading of clothing and decoration in these texts, elements that are often explicitly mentioned in relation to women and people of color. Historical context concerning modernist paradigms, metaphorical interpretations of architectural glass, the connection between clothing and architecture, and the place of women in the Werkbund provides a framework that serves to ex

Fiction as a form of art is a special area of the aesthetic. In a truly fictional work, all its elements are subordinate to the expression of a certain content, expressive, figurative, therefore, the reader’s understanding of a literary work is not only aesthet
