The Historical Fictions Research Network aims to create a place for the discussion of all aspects of fictional historical narrative. We welcome people working on prose, drama, visual art, reception studies, musicology, museum displays, film, tv, gaming, wargaming, graphic novels, transformative works and any other areas engaged in the narrative construction of the fictional past.

We have just completed the first HFRN conference, which took place on 27th and 28th February 2016, at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge; the next conference will be on 24th and 25th February 2017, at and with the collaboration of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich (see above). We will soon publish plans for the new journal, the Journal of Historical Fictions.
