Historical Fiction

Historical fiction is a literary genre that combines fictional storytelling with historical events, settings, and figures. The narratives are set in a specific historical period and aim to provide a sense of authenticity through detailed research and accurate depiction of the era’s social, cultural, and political context. While the characters or events may be partially or entirely invented, the genre often reflects real historical circumstances, allowing readers to explore and engage with the past in imaginative ways. Historical fiction can range from meticulous recreations of historical events to more loosely connected tales that use historical backdrops to enhance character development and plot.
