The Aesthetics of History

This book offers an understanding and analysis of the aesthetics of historying through the specific concepts and process of the factional, factitious, fabricated, factious, factitive, factive, factualist, fictitious, fictive, and figurative. These concepts create the(ir) connection(s) between ‘the past’ and ‘history’ hitherto to rethink the nature of ‘the historical past’. There are many different available ‘forms’ of histories that shape the minds of historians when they deploy their historical imaginations through ‘the past(s) via their preferred history creations’. For every historian and every history reader, there is a different experience of ‘the history past aesthetic’.
