Butterfield's first publication examines the relationship between historical novels and formal historical scholarship. He explores how historical fiction engages with evidence differently than traditional history, and how it uses imagination to help readers feel and understand past epochs. The work considers fiction's unique ability to capture uncertainty in human affairs and its potential as a "maker of history" itself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
