MORALES JASSO, Gerardo  and  BANUELOS AQUINO, Víctor Manuel. Debates on the Concept of “Historical Novel”. Proposals from the Dialogue between Historiography and Literary Criticism. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2017, vol.38, n.152, pp.267-302. ISSN 2448-7554.  https://doi.org/10.24901/rehs.v38i152.361.

This article presents a critique of the notion of the “historical novel” from a perspective that converges with history as constructed from the Social Sciences. Various texts that deal with the “historical novel” are compared with historiographical texts to answer -from a historical point of view- a question first raised, and answered, in the domain of literary criticism and history as constructed from the Humanities; namely, what kinds of works should be characterized as historical novels? As a result, this text reveals some limits that exist regarding the generation of interdisciplinarity between history and literature from the standpoint of the theory of history.

Keywords : paleo-novel; historiographic novel; novelated history; social sciences; incommensurability.
