Product Description

The historical novel is not only an immensely popular genre, but also one that raises fascinating questions about the nature of key foundational concepts such as fact and fiction, history, reading and writing. This wide-ranging guide offers an accessible introduction to both the genre and the critical debates around it.

Popular Highlights

(What's this?)

In a way you want him to put the flesh back on the skeleton that is history &quote;

Highlighted by 7 Kindle users

This articulation highlights the artificiality of the novel, introduces a fundamental metafictional element to the form, and demonstrates that as a genre the historical novel provokes a certain anxiety and disquiet on the part of the writer. &quote;

Highlighted by 7 Kindle users

The form is obsessed with pointing out its own partiality, with introducing other voices and undermining its authority. &quote;
