Even at the height of its popularity in the early nineteenth century,
the historical novel faced criticism at many levels. After its predominance
in the 1810S and 1820S, writers and historians shunned it as a travesty of their
respective disciplines. Even so, the historical novel continues to attract a diverse
readership. Brian Hamnett examines key novels, by authors including Scott,
Balzac, Manzoni, Dickens, Eliot, Flaubert,
Fontane, Galdos,
and Tolstoy,
revealing the contradictions inherent in this form of fiction and exposing
the challenges writers faced in attempting to represent a reality that linked past
and present. He argues that the historical novel was a common phenomenon
in nineteenth-century Europe and there was considerable interconnection
between the themes and periods portrayed. Accordingly, the book ranges
from the British Isles and France through the Germanic territories, Italy, and
Spain, to the Russian Empire, identifying the different objectives and phases
of the historical novel. Although historical novels did appear in the two previous
centuries, the form came to maturity in the nineteenth century as a consequence
of the developing nature of history as a discipline distinct from literature and
philosophy, and the increasing primacy of the novel for writers and the reading
public. Yet, the frontiers between history and literature remained blurred,
and the two disciplines continued to influence one another as each sought
a faithful representation of human experience.
