Golden Age departures in historiography and theory of history in some ways prepared the ground for modern historical methods and ideas about historical factuality. At the same time, they fed into the period's own "aesthetic-historical culture" which amalgamated fact and fiction in ways modern historians would consider counterfactual: a culture where imaginative historical prose, poetry and drama self-consciously rivalled the accounts of royal chroniclers and the dispatches of diplomatic envoys; a culture dominated by a notion of truth in which skilful construction of the argument and exemplarity took precedence over factual accuracy. Literature and Historiography in the Spanish Golden Age: The Poetics of History investigates this grey area backdrop of modern ideas about history, delving into a variety of Golden Age aesthetic-historical works which cannot be satisfactorily described as either works of literature or works of historiography but which belong in between these later strictly separate categories.

Nella Poetica, Aristotele ammette la storia tra i temi possibili per la poesia a condizione che il poeta raggiunga il piano dell'universale narrando eventi che rispettino le norme dell'eikos e dell'anankaion. Con l'alterazione della storia di Atene nel Menesseno e il poema di Solone su Atlantide nel Crizia Platone precorre la riflessione di Aristotele e riserva al racconto storico un ruolo centrale per la paideia dei cittadini. Nel V secolo, la poesia greca d'argomento storico, dai Persiani di Eschilo ai Persiani di Timoteo, anticipa nella prassi i temi che Platone e Aristotele svilupperanno sul piano teorico: l'intreccio tra il particolare della storia e l'universale della poesia, i modelli per la mimesis, l'adesione del destinatario tra eleos, phobos e geloion.

Poetry expressing criticism of social, political and cultural life is a vital integral part of Persian literary history. Its principal genres - invective, satire and burlesque - have been very popular with authors in every age. Despite the rich uninterrupted tradition, such texts have been little studied and rarely translated. Their irreverent tones range from subtle irony to crude direct insults, at times involving the use of outrageous and obscene terms. This anthology includes both major and minor poets from the origins of Persian poetry (10th century) up to the age of Jami (15th century), traditionally considered the last great classical Persian poet
