The Significance of Narrative Strategies in Historiographic Metafiction in Julian Barne's "A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters"


Seminar Paper, 2018

9 Pages, Grade: 1,3


Abstract or Introduction

In this term paper I will discuss how historiographic metafiction “reflects upon its own strategies of writing and constructing histories by drawing attention to the constructedness [and] subjectivity”. For this purpose, I will firstly elaborate the relationship of historio-graphic metafiction and narration in order to examine to which intention the narrative strategies are used by taking the example of the postmodernist novel A History of the World in 10 ½ Chapters by Julian Barnes.
