AbstractWhile literature is often thought to be a product of culture,the writing of history in medieval Sri Lanka was based on the assumption that texts themselves can produce changes in culture by making people into virtuous devotees. A study of the Sinhala Thupavamsa, a Theravada Buddhist chronicle written in Sinhala around the13th-century,provides new material with which to examine the ways historical narratives can be crafted to manipulate and transform the readers and listeners of a text.
