Özet
Postmodern dönem, farklı edebî yaklaşımlar açısından büyük dönüşümlere sahne olur. Bu çalışma Yeni Tarihçiliği Hawksmoor (1985) ve The Known World'de (2003) tarih, zaman ve kültür açısından göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma üç bölüm ve bir sonuca ayrılmıştır, Birinci bölümde, çalışma, ana kaynak olarak Yeni-Tarihçilik ve bir dal olarak Tarihsel Üstkurmaca gibi iki yöntemin odaklandığı tarih kavramına odaklanmaktadır. İkinci bölümde araştırmacı, yeni-tarihselcilik merceğinde zamanın döngüselliğine odaklanmaktadır. Kültürel kavram, yeni-tarihselcilik açısından ele alınan son kavramdır. Birinci bölümün ikinci bölümünde Peter Ackroyd ve Edward. P. Jones'un biyografilerinden bahsedilir. Araştırmacı ortak noktalarını göstermeye çalışır. İkinci bölümde Hawksmoor kurgusu üç kavrama göre ele alınmıştır. Araştırmacı, aydınlanma ve okültizm arasındaki yüzleşmeye odaklanıyor. Ackroyd, Wren'i makul bir düşünür olarak tasvir eder. Öte yandan Dyer, okültist bir mimar olarak sunulur. Üçüncü bölümde, Bilinen Dünya da üç motif açısından ele alınmıştır. Çalışma, bir taraftan beyaz ve siyah ırklar arasındaki ırk ayrımını gösteriyor. Henry adlı siyahi bir köle sahibinin kendi ırkına beyazlardan çok daha kötü davranmaya başlaması da iç ırkçılığı başka bir taraftan da gösterir. Çalışmanın son bölümünde ise Hawksmoor ve The Known World arasındaki ortak noktaları üç motif açısından ortaya koymaktadır.

İn the second part of the first chapter, Peter Ackroyd and Edward. P. Jones' biographies are mentioned. The researcher attempts to show their common grounds. İn the second chapter, Hawksmoor fiction is discussed according to the three concepts. The researcher focuses on the confrontation between enlightenment and occultism. Ackroyd portrays Wren as a reasonable thinker. On the other hand, Dyer is presented as an occultist architect. In the third chapter, The Known World is also discussed in terms of the three motives. The study shows the racial discrimination between the white and black races from one side.
