The introduction to this issue’s special theme first focuses on the challenges involved in studying the relations between history and fiction across several millennia, multiple languages and many different cultures. It then turns to an explication of, and draws connections among, the three principal essays, each of which focuses on historical-literary interactions during periods or in geographic regions that are less commonly studied in Europe and North America. In order properly to contextualize and position our topic on history and historical fiction, our theme necessarily transgresses the boundaries of the history of humanities disciplines and thus includes one essay that deals with literary fiction.

In this essay I examine the relationship between fictive and historical (here meaning otherwise attested, rather than necessarily veracious) elements in two tales from the Tang dynasty writer Yuan Jiao’s 袁郊 ninth-century Ganze yao 甘澤謠, a collection of anecdotes about events in the Tang past. Yuan Jiao’s tales concern historical figures and build on incidents that are confirmed in other sources and appear to have been well known at the time, into which Yuan Jiao weaves fabricated characters and scenes. Though these fabrications can be easily recognized as such, the tales speak to the same goals as more conventional histories. The tales demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of historical narrative as necessarily built of both fictions and facts, whose value lies in their power to explain the past for the present.
