Telling it like it wasn't : the counterfactual imagination in history and fiction

Author:	Catherine Gallagher
Publisher:	Chicago : The University of Chicago Press, 2018.
Edition/Format:	eBook : Document : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	Inventing counterfactual histories is a common pastime of modern day historians, both amateur and professional. We speculate about an America ruled by Jefferson Davis, a Europe that never threw off Hitler, or a second term for JFK. These narratives are often written off as politically inspired fantasy or as pop culture fodder, but in 'Telling It Like It Wasn't', Catherine Gallagher takes the history of counterfactual history seriously, pinning it down as an object of dispassionate study.  Read more...
