Abstract:

What is speculative biography and how might it constitute a form of public history? In this chapter I tease out how speculative biography encourages ways of writing the past that might connect us to that which is not at our fingertips nor the forefront of our consciousness. In the process I reflect upon how the motivations and methods of this genre blur the boundaries between so-called expert and amateur in ways that are aligned with the capacious understandings of public history explored in this book.
