An Overview

 Sir Walter Scott’s Waverley  Publish in 1814 about 1745 Jacobite rebellion against British Crown.  Scott attempted to accurately portray the background and qualities of ordinary people involved (the Scots).  Subtitle “Tis Sixty Years Since” created original cutoff date for genre

 Shakespeare's Hamlet  Goethe's Faust  Homer's Odyssey  These works are fictionalized retellings of events that occurred long before the author's time.  Today's novelists continue to revisit the same characters and themes, proving that the legacy of these ancient tales has endured.

 Historical fiction presents readers with a story that takes place during a notable period in history, and usually during a significant event in that period.  Historical fiction often presents actual events from the point of view of people living in that time period.

 Set in time remote enough from present to be considered history (30-60 years)  Author has not lived in time period – is at least one generation removed.  Historical facts blend with imaginary characters and plot

 Facts are  Actually historical events  Authentic period settings  Includes real historical figures  Common Forms  Main characters = fictional. Secondary = real  Past has social traditions, customs, and values of period.  May not mention actual events or people.

 The Last of the Mohicans  James Fennimore Cooper  Red Badge of Courage  Stephan Crane  Tale of Two Cities  Charles Dickens

All is Quiet on the Western Front  Erich Maria Remarque The Grapes of Wrath  John Steinbeck To Kill a Mockingbird  Harper Lee
