    摘要、提要註: The Contemporary British Historical Novel is the first full-length study of a genre that has had increasing critical attention and popular appeal at the turn of the twenty-first century. The book combines a contextual and theoretical framework for the success of historical fictionin Britain in the last forty years with detailed analysis of thirteen novels, from well-known examples of the genre such as The French Lieutenant's Woman and Possession to very recent works, including Philip Hensher's The Mulberry Empire and James Robertson's Joseph Knight. Boccardidiscusses the contemporary British historical novel in relation to questions of national identity in the aftermath of the loss ofempire, in contrast to other instances of recuperation of the past, particularly in the form of heritage, and as a complex representative of postmodernism in fiction.
