Historiebruk i alternativhistoria : En undersökning av hur författare använder sig av historiebruk i alternativhistoriska verk. / Use of history in alternate history : A study in how authors use history in alternate history works

In this study I analyse how authors of alternate history books use history in their works based on the central themes the authors use in their books. The source material used in this study is three different alternate history books from three different authors based on three different time periods.  The results of this study were that you can find connections between the central themes the authors use to the use of history. While the works the authors have produces primarily exist to entertain the reader and to tell a entertaining story the Authors also use history in an ideological way to show support or legitimise social and political movements that they support. The authors also showcase a moral use of history to condemn certain historical practises and social norms and using this critique to show a desire for change and to critique certain modern uses of history by certain groups.
