\u201cA Novelist Under Oath: The Aesthetic of the Non-Fiction Historical Narrative\u201d<\/h3>\n

(\u201ePowie\u015bciopisarz pod przysi\u0119g\u0105: estetyka historycznej literatury faktu\u201d)<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This lecture considers the position of biographer as a \u201cnovelist under oath\u201d, an author ethically obliged to aim to reveal truth. However, truth can be revealed in many ways, and a variety of means such as rhetorics, stylistic devices and higher-level aesthetical choices, among others, serve to achieve this goal.\u00a0 Prof. Matteson examines the relationships between aesthetics, biographer\u2019s moral obligation and historical truth, sharing his own rich experience with the audience.<\/p>\n
