A HISTORICAL NOVEL AS A LITERARY GENRE
Research Focus International Scientific Journal, 4(Special Issue 1), 193–194 · ISSN 2181-3833
Abstract
The historical novel is a literary genre that transports readers to different historical periods, offering vivid and imaginative retellings of past events through fictional characters. Unlike traditional historical accounts, these novels integrate real historical events with compelling narratives, making history more accessible and engaging. The genre emerged in the early 19th century, with Sir Walter Scott credited for its popularization. Historical novels emphasize authenticity in setting, dialogue, and cultural nuances, often incorporating interactions between fictional and real historical figures. By blending history with storytelling, the genre provides insight into political, social, and personal experiences across time.
