Index
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 has frequently attracted a
wide-ranging public right up to the present day. Brian Hamnett examines key
novels, by authors including Scott, Balzac, Manzoni, Dickens, Eliot, Flaubert,
Fontane,
Galdós,
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 in the
nineteenth century was a common European phenomenon with considerable
interconnection of themes and periods. 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, 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.
