Abstract

In this article we link the category of myth prefiguration – as proposed by Erasmus Kuzma – with Hayden White’s historiographical approach, as visible in Green Children from Bizarre Stories by Olga Tokarczuk. The goal of conceptualizing the story in the category of fictionalization (with comic, ironic and tragic patterns) is to compare traces of William of Newburgh’s historiographic relations to Olga Tokarczuk’s prefigurative storytelling model. The article is enriched with meta-reflections by the author herself, considering myth and history.
