To investigate the way historical fact enters fiction and finally attains the status of something like myth. The study will deal specifically with the great memoirs of the 30s and 40s (Robert Graves, Wyndham Lewis, etc.) and with poems and proclaimed fictions (Isaac Rosenbert, Ford Madox Ford, John Dos Passos, etc.)
