This book was first published in 2009. A much older genre than is
often thought, the historical novel has played a vital role in the
development of the novel overall. It began in seventeenth-century
France as a distinctive way of combining historical chronologies
with fictive narratives. In Romantic Scotland, historical fiction
underwent a further transformation, inspired by both antiquarian
scholarship and crisis-oriented journalism. The first comprehensive
study of its subject for many years, The Historical Novel in Europe
highlights both the French invention and Scottish re-invention of
historical fiction, showing how these two events prepared the
genre's broad popularity during the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. In Europe, as well as in the Americas, the historical
novel became as much a way of reading and a set of expectations as
a memorable collection of books. The main authors discussed include
Madame de Lafayette, the abb Pr vost, Walter Scott, Alexandre
Dumas, Victor Hugo, Gustave Flaubert and Mark Twain.
