Historical Fiction: Definition
Dec 13 2009, 11:52 PM EST | Post edited: Dec 13 2009, 11:52 PM EST
I found this useful definition for Historical Fiction from the Historical Novels Review Journal: "A historical novel is a novel which is set fifty or more years in the past, and one in which the author is writing from research rather than personal experience."

For the full article "What are the Rules for Historical Fiction?" have a look at: http://historicalnovelsociety.org/historyic.htm Do you find this valuable?
