Abstract

The introduction examines the scholarship on counterfactual historical fiction. It provides an overview of the study of counterfactuals between disciplines and explores the genre of counterfactual historical fiction in detail. Within this chapter, I also a review the literature on the genre of counterfactual historical fiction before concluding that the genre lacks a suitable systematic methodology that theorises the different cognitive processes that readers go through when they read such fiction.
