Abstract

History, in a general sense, offers accurate and ‘true’ picture of human’s life in each period. However, are those seemingly true recordings unprejudiced and fact-based? This paper will provide an exploration of the complex relations between fact and fancy in novels by Jeanette Winterson and Julian Barnes.
