Summary:The last several decades have witnessed an explosion of new empirical research into representations of the past and the conditions of their production, prompting claims that we have entered a new era in which the past has become more “present” than ever before.

This rich collective account provides valuable perspectives for current scholars while charting new avenues for future research.
