DESCRIPTION:<strong>Telling It Like It Wasn&rsquo\;t &middot\; Catherine Gallagher &middot\; 28 May</strong>\n<strong><br></strong>\n<strong>Register here: factorvalue.org/gallagher</strong>\n<strong>Wednesday &middot\; 28 May</strong>\n<strong>11.30 am ET &middot\; 9 pm IST</strong>\n<strong>This is a free\, virtual event</strong>\n&nbsp\;\nInventing counterfactual histories is a common pastime of modern day historians\, both amateur and professional. We speculate about an America ruled by Jefferson Davis\, a Europe that never threw off Hitler\, or a second term for JFK. These narratives are often written off as politically inspired fantasy or as pop culture fodder\, but in <em>Telling It Like It Wasn&rsquo\;t</em>\, Catherine Gallagher takes the history of counterfactual history seriously\, pinning it down as an object of dispassionate study. She doesn&rsquo\;t take a moral or normative stand on the practice\, but focuses her attention on how it works and to what ends&mdash\;a quest that takes readers on a fascinating tour of literary and historical criticism.\n&nbsp\;\nTo discuss her book\, we&rsquo\;re honoured to welcome Professor Gallagher\, the Emerita Eggers Professor of English Literature at UC Berkeley.
