Анотация: The article examines the novel by American author Robert Coover «The Public Burning» in the context of history and historiography. Basis of the study are modes of writing in historiography as analyzed by American researcher Hayden White and also a concept of history as seen in the works of French philosopher Michel Foucault. In this context, the novel by Robert Coover suggests a new perspective on history through the narrative that is based on actual historical events but is also augmented by fictional elements. Moreover, through the fictional material «The Public Burning» proposes a new approach in writing of history. The study focuses on the relations between history, folklore, public figures and a mode of writing in the novel.
