Book Synopsis The Adaptation of History by : Laurence Raw

Download or read book The Adaptation of History written by Laurence Raw and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-11-26 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays asks the question "What is history?" and considers how history is shaped in different socioeconomic contexts. The writers take a transdisciplinary approach, in the belief that everyone who deals with history--including professional historians, novelists, and poets--constructs narratives of the past to make sense of the present as well as to determine their future courses of action. With contributions from a variety of specialists in media studies, literature, history and anthropology, this book breaks new ground in adaptation studies.
