Summary: By combining the already contested idea of fiction with performance, action, and ideas/ideology, this collection provides a thorough consideration of fictional histories in the early modern period. It covers more than two centuries of primary material, providing a long perspective on the changing and complex role of history in forming early modern national, gendered, and cultural identities.
