History and Narration

Università degli Studi di Bari
Abstract
The subject of the research project can be summed up in two words – history and fiction. More precisely the aim will be to examine the way in which the relationship between these two notions has evolved over time. The eternal question “what is History?” comes from the classical world (and not from modern age). Herodotus, Thucydides, Tacitus, Livy, Plutarch and Polybius are only some examples of writers who dealt - in a ‘practical way’ - with the problem of how History and story-telling are connected (as the word ‘historiography’ etymologically suggests).
Although Lucian’s “The True History” is the only classical pamphlet entirely based on the link between History and story-telling, all classical writers focused on this theme in one way or another. This classical tradition would serve as a frame of reference in subsequent centuries. Indeed, this critical question has been dealt with in every era and all over the world (England, Italy, Germany, France, US).
Choosing a method for relating History has never been a purely historiographic matter. Relating History in a certain manner meant (and still means) interpreting the past with the aim of legitimating the desires and requirements of the present.
The aesthetic representation, that is “fiction”, played a major role in History interpretation (here, the term “Fiction” is to be understood in its wider sense, i.e. a piece of writing which has a plot, whether it is implicit or explicit, plain or complex).

Research Objectives
The aim of our research project is to catalogue and analyse forms and modes of historical representation through literature, theatre and cinema, in Europe and in the USA. As shown in the first section of our national and international project and in the bibliography, our research will deal at first with the link between history and narrative, a link already present in classical tradition and even today at heart of historiographical and literary-critical debate.
Subsequently all the members of our national research project, as shown in each research programme presented by the different operating units, will study how forms and modes of the representation of history have undergone changes. They will focus their attention on the relationship between history and narrative, both in Europe and in the USA, through traditions, genders and periods, according to the area of scientific expertise of each unit. Finally they will investigate aspects and themes as explained below:

1) The units will study how historical sources were used in stage productions between the 16th and 17th centuries (particularly, how classical and modern sources were used in the Elizabethan and in the Jacobean theatre, how Shakespeare dealt with history in his History Plays, and how Tudor historiographical sources were used to create the Duke Humphrey of Gloucester, a controversial character who becomes the symbol of national as well as nationalistic virtues). We will also study a number of >>>

National and international background
From Herodotus to Benedetto Croce, that is from ancient times to the first half of the 20th century, it has been thought that one of the most important qualities of a historian is to be a good storyteller. Many philosophers, historians and men of letters have been interested in the profile of the different positions (cf. the bibliographical references).
The relationship between History and storytelling was analysed, though in different ways, by Greek and Latin historiographers (Herodotus, Thucydides, Livy, Tacitus, Plutarch, etc.), it was discussed by Lucian in his essay “How to write history” and it has continued to thrive in the modern world, as we can see in the opposing contributions of Carr (What is History?) and Elton (The Practice of History). The two different points of view are still at the heart of the debate, although in the last few decades, particularly in Anglo-Saxon culture (Hayden White), new visions have emerged and compromised the meaning of historiography as ‘true tale of facts’.
The Humanists differentiated between ‘annals’, simple and local chronicles, and the rhetorical ‘historiae’; in the 16th and the 17th centuries Machiavelli and Guicciardini expressed their own visions; then in the 18th century we had the entries for “History” and “Historiography” in Voltaire’s Encyclopaedia, in Bayle’s Historical Dictionary in the Encyclopaedia Britannica; the rich Romantic era was followed by Positivism (as we can see in the entry of the Oxford >>>
