I am looking for something about Theravada, from the 1700s. Earlier if possible

I don’t know of an overall critical history of Theravada, even in the 1700s+. (I know Theravada much less well than other systems, also.)

The problem is that, if you take a critical perspective, most of the history disintegrates, so there’s not all that much to say

Theremust be a genre of speculative history which would serve.
