T1 Literatura e historia. La historia como alegoría en la literatura inglesa del siglo XX
A1 Montes, Catalina
AB The relationship between Literature and History has been thesubject of discussion ever since Aristotle. Every generation hasconsidered that relationship from the point of view of theconceptions of Literature and of History in favour at the time.Nowadays, even if the scientific methods of historiography tend toseparate it from fiction, the deep consciousness of time and History,which is one of the characteristics of contemporary man, isreflected in literary works and creates a new link between bothbranches of knowledge. 20th Century novelists not only haveHistory as reference and as subject matter of their fiction, but theyfrequently allegorize History too. An illustration of this can befound in Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf, and Darkness Visible,by William Golding. A reading of these two novels as allegories ofHistory adds new meaning to them.
