Historical novel in the literature of romanticism

Literature and history are inseparable, it is no accident that Clio, the Muse of history, was one of the companions of patron of the arts of the God Apollo. Since ancient times, literature is telling stories, but an independent genre of the historical novel appeared only in the 19th century. How are the STORIES told by the writers, since Homer and Virgil, and the real STORY of the peoples of Europe and not only Europe? On what historical truth can rely on literature and how a fiction can become truth? That gave the right of O. de Balzac, to argue that "a well-written historical novels are more history courses"? Why the concept of historical and national appeared together in the romantic period and what they meant? And finally, as in historical novels by W. Scott, V. Hugo, A. de Vigny, mérimée, N. Hawthorne, A. Pushkin, N. Gogol, J. Kraszewski and Kulish formed a national literature and national identity? To these and other questions will try to answer during the next lecture from the series of talks on literature with Professor of cultural studies, art history and philosophy of culture ONPU Olga Korolkova.
