The Boundaries between the Historical and the Imaginary: (Historical Imagination) M’babiya, Mohameden Laachemi, Aicha Historical imagination Historical novel History and fiction Literary perspective Narrative vision This study explores the boundaries between what is historical and what is imaginary through the concept of historical imagination. While history is traditionally seen as a neutral recording of past events, the historical novel adopts parts of that history and treats them through a literary perspective. opposite a historian who is constrained by accuracy and objectivity, the novelist employs his artistic imagination to reconstruct events and characters, offering a subjective vision of the past. In this paper, we try to address in depth the bilateral relationship between the novel and history, focusing on the nature of the boundaries between them, and the importance of historical imagination in shaping the narrative vision. 2025-05-09T10:29:29Z 2025-05-09T10:29:29Z 2025 journal article Mohameden M’babiya, & Aicha Laachemi (2025).
