Historical novel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (804 words)
A historical novel is a novel in which the story is set among historical events, or more generally, in which the time of the action predates the lifetime of the author.
Historical fiction may center on historical or on fictional characters, but usually represents an honest attempt based on considerable research (or at least serious reading) to tell a story set in the historical past as understood by the author's contemporaries.
The genre of the historical novel has also permitted some authors, such as the Polish novelist Bolesław Prus in his sole historical novel, Pharaoh, to distance themselves from their own time and place in order to gain perspective on society and on the human condition, or to escape the depredations of the censor.
