Reconstruction, Tracking And Games - A New Historical Novel Theory

The New Historical Novel is a special literary phenomenon of the New Age literary world. Its historical conception takes on three inclinations: Reconstructing another historical reality, querying the possibility of the text's reappearance of history and abandoning the reality of history .With this clue, the thesis divides the New Historical Novel into three types: Reconstructing Historical Novel, Tracing Historical Novel and Playing historical Novel.The Reconstructing Historical Novel bases itself on nongovernmental conception of history and value to clear up the historical narrative pattern of the main current ideology. The Tracing Historical Novel shifts the deferment in linguistics into the historical narrative pattern, denying the possibility of reappearance of history. The Playing Historical Novel not only gives up the desire of reconstructing history, but also abandons to make a detailed inquiry about history, at the same time, it plays tricks on the classical history texts and discourse to cater to the current appetite.
