The Arts and the Teaching of History Historical F(r)ictions

“The chapters detail examples of literature, visual art, and public art. They explore ways of knowing that acknowledge differences in intention, method, and imagination between period novels and historical fiction; visual art as source … and public art as a vehicle for the convergence of history and heritage. Examples are drawn from a variety of contexts and eras … . Clark and Sears remind history teachers-at any level-of the ongoing importance of understanding the past as permeating the present.” (Karen Stanworth, Historical Studies in Education, Vol. 34 (2), 2022)
