Historiographic Metafiction in Louise Erdrich's The Plague of Doves

The research paper aims to trace how Louise Erdrich explicates history in her novel
The Plague of Doves and analyze its central issue about history and how it is
presented. This paper references Linda Hutcheon's A Poetics of Postmodernism:
History, Theory, Fiction (1988). This embodies the traits of "historiographic
metafiction," a postmodern literary subgenre whose main objective is to refute
generally accepted assumptions regarding historical investigations. It also focuses on
the features that make it a particular case in the postmodern historical novel, and it
tries to analyze this novel with utter importance from the historiographic
metafictional perspective.
