- Title
Julian Barnes and the Sense of History.
- Authors
MITREA, Alexandra
- Abstract
The present article focuses on three novels which are highly relevant for understanding Julian Barnes' view on history and historical knowledge. Flaubert's Parrot, A History of the World in 101/2 Chapters and The Sense of an Ending offer illustrative evidence of the writer's approach to the construction of history which, though highly marked by postmodernism, departs from it in the keenness and passion with which it questions the world and the emphasis it places on ethical issues.
