520 1 $a"Impartial Stranger approaches the questions of narrative in history-writing by examining specific literary genres and textual precursors embedded in the reconstruction of the past. It exploits the seam between literary criticism and philosophies of history in order to formulate a new model for reading history. The resulting synthesis permits a reevaluation of Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire that queries the illusion of authorial omniscience.
