IRONICALLY PERHAPS, literary evidence has often proved a misleading or inadequate basis for the study of in the past.1l The reasons for this observation include the approaches and assumptions of researchers, the types of literary sources examined, biases of both students and their data, researchers' misplaced emphases and expectations, inadequate notions of the meaning of literacy as well as that of the popular among reading publics, and the literary materials available for perusal. The issues central to these points impinge on questions well beyond those of the of alone. They belong properly to considerations of disciplinary boundaries and relations, epistemology, methodology and interpretation, and source criticism. These are areas in which the human sciences, whether social or humanistic, have far to go; the road is long and crossing the path has barely begun. That the relations between historical and literary research-always close, but not overlapping or synonymous-are problematic is well known, despite past and ongoing practice in both fields. Regardless of the cavails of the new critics or the prognoses of scientific historians, it is undeniable that just as students of and its need the evidence of history, historians require that of literature. The relationships between history and literature are many and diverse, if not always well understood or elaborated in practice. Although researchers in both disciplines regularly draw upon the sources and, increasingly, the methods of the other, neither perameters nor paradigms nor questions are the same. Readers of this journal are undoubtedly aware of some of the strengths and limitations of scholarship that crosses the boundaries of these interdisciplines
