Abstract
Abstract This article analyses Julian Barnes’s England, England and shows that it recreates England as a palimpsest, presenting to us a parody of the past and circulating an ironic story of a possible version of this country with a rewritten history. Julian Barnes redefines history and the role of the historian in a novel which illustrates the idea that history is a story.
