Rethinking Historical Genres in the Twenty-First Century

This book engages the reality of the new historical genres practised today (such as historical re-enactments, gaming history, social media, graphic narratives and first-person narratives of, memoirs of trauma, and film-history) which compete with the traditional model of historical prose (such as monographs, biographies, or narratives histories), and asks if we can we use this category for a critical analysis of historical practice. This book was originally published as a special issue of Rethinking History.
