"Some novels use history as a backdrop for imaginary characters; others fictionalize the lives of actual figures, inserting invented episodes among real events; still others distort, add, and omit. As in science fiction, some fictional pasts are paradigms of the present, other exotically different; both invent pasts for readers' delectation. Yet historical novelists also declare intentions similar to historians', striving for verisimilitude to help readers feel and know the past."
