Abstract

The present article focuses several considerations about the concept of historical novel, which will allow clarifying the reality of this literary genre. It considers worthy of attention some basic aspects of the development in the 19th and 20th century. The identification of the main characteristics performs by analysing German historical novels with Spanish contents mostly written during the Exile Age of the German literature, as Bruno Frank’s Cervantes (1934), Lion Feuchtwanger’s Goya oder der arge Weg der Erkenntnis (1951) and Die Jüdin von Toledo (1955), and Hermann Kesten’s Ferdinand und Isabella (1936) and König Philipp der Zweite (1938).
