Summary/Abstract: Historiography has been in the centre of attention for decades, but its understanding constantly expands and the questions it asks concern an increasing number of areas, regardless of disciplinary borders. The article deals with literary history as a construction of conceivable worlds in the context of historiography and literary works. An important theorist in this area is Lubomír Doležel, whose work Fiction and history in the era of postmodernism (Fikce a historie v období postmoderny, 2008) elaborates Doležel’s earlier work on fictional worlds in literature by examining the questions of historiography and its conceptualizations of both conceivable and inconceivable worlds.
