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.
