La novela histórica es un género literario que mantiene intacto el interés del público desde que a principios del siglo XIX Walter Scott proporcionase un modelo narrativo cuya característica principal radica en su enorme versatilidad. Aunque aparentemente cerrado en un esquema básico: ambientación, cronología, hibridismo, etc., ha sido capaz de acomodarse a las peculiaridades propias de cada país de recepción y a su idiosincrasia cultural, pero también ha permitido su evolución, incorporando diversos marcos cronológicos y desarrollos narrativos. En la actualidad, la novela histórica responde sobre todo a mecanismos de ruptura, no solo en lo concerniente a los géneros literarios, cada vez más diluidos, como al patrón narrativo básico, caracterizado por el equilibrio resultante de su cruzamiento entre Historia y Novela.
The historical novel is a literary genre that has maintained its enduring public interest since Walter Scott, in the early 19th century, provided a narrative model whose main characteristic lies in its enormous versatility. Although seemingly confined to a basic framework—setting, chronology, hybridity, etc.—it has been able to adapt to the specific characteristics and cultural idiosyncrasies of each country where it is read, while also allowing for its own evolution, incorporating diverse chronological frameworks and narrative developments. Currently, the historical novel primarily responds to mechanisms of rupture, not only in terms of literary genres, which are becoming increasingly diluted, but also in terms of the basic narrative pattern, characterized by the balance resulting from its intersection of history and fiction.
