She is currently in her second year as a National Humanities fellow and is also hard at work on a book about the infamous Elizabeth Canning.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Like the Borden case, Robertson notes, the Canning Affair allowed society\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand the media\u00e2\u20ac\u201dto test competing narratives in public as they were being contested in a courtroom. Just as Borden\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s indictment brought into question prevailing notions of female criminality, Canning\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s story coincided with a seismic shift in European culture from belief to knowledge. As intellectuals debated questions of epistemology and evidence, Fielding was attempting to parse truth from fiction by day while creating his own fictional world\u00e2\u20ac\u201d one in which he was the sole arbiter of truth\u00e2\u20ac\u201dby night.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can download a PDF of the complete <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nhc.rtp.nc.us\/newsletter2006\/nhcnewssprsum2006.pdf\">interview here<\/a>.
