520 |a The concept of hope initially may not seem relevant to postmodern historiographic novels, which render historical knowledge, historiography, and the concept of narrative problematic. This article argues that postmodern historiographic novels nevertheless portray various modern derivatives of Christian hope, which, using Sir Frank Kermode's 1965 The Sense of an Ending and Jürgen Moltmann's 1965 Theology of Hope, are theorised as utopic, ironic, and idealistic. These derivatives are exemplified in Ondaatje's The English Patient, Byatt's Possession, and McEwan's Atonement. The article also explores the potential for depicting a Christian sense of hope in the historiographic novel, reading Robinson's Gilead as an example.
