This book explores the genre of the historical novel and the variety of ways in which writers choose to represent the past, demonstrating how histories can communicate across national borders, often by invoking or deconstructing the very notion of nationhood. It traces how concerns of the postmodern era such as critiques of historiography, colonialism, identity, and the Enlightenment, have impacted the genre of the historical novel, and shows this impact has not been uniform throughout Western culture. Historical novels from England, America, Germany, and France are compared and contrasted with historical novels from Sweden, testing a variety of theoretical perspectives in the process.
