K1 Literatura inglesa - S. XX
AB My research stems from the hypothesis that a subgenre exists within the contemporaryhistorical novel in English with a series of features that can be labelled as neoEdwardianand belong in a broader social and cultural phenomenon. Thus, trough theanalysis of a series of recent novels set in the years prior to the First World War, thisdissertation could contribute to the study of the relationship that we establish with thepast, especially when History and fiction interact in novels.The main goals of this research are:1. To delve into the state of the art of contemporary historical fiction in English.2. To trace the state of the art of the neo-Edwardian novel, including a chronologyof primary works and their evolution.3. To analyse a series of primary works that could be considered neo-Edwardianand to obtain some common features.4. To investigate critical concepts about our contemporary views on the past thatcan be related to this subgenre.5. To contribute to the study of the neo-historical novel.In order to achieve this, a thorough examination of a selection of contemporary novelsset in the Edwardian period is being carried out. The theoretical framework employedrevolves around memory in contemporary fiction and the evolution of the historicalnovel in the 20th and the 21st centuries.
