Abstract
The issues which I was addressing in the last chapter in terms of the relationship between ‘real’ and ‘fictional’ accounts of events (where the real are visibly and explicitly connected to evidential support and the fictional are not) echo very closely discussions which I recall from my days as an historian about the relationship between history (and especially biography) and fiction — and especially about the standing and character of the historical novel vis-à-vis history proper. It occurred to me that this literature might well offer some clues to our more contemporary concern with the relationship between educational fictions and educational research.
