"No. Fact and fiction have opposite meanings."
No - they can be inter-related
Where do we go from here ?
"After all, tomorrow’s newspapers can’t agree what happened today."
Neither can many historians - go read up WW1, or more recently, The Vietnam War as an example
Or try to get some of our historians to agree on the behaviour of some of our past Royals - I'll go get the bucket, sponge and towel
History is as much prone to personal viewpoint as is oral literature
Jim Carroll
