The Narrative Art of New Historical Fiction by Julian Barnes
About This Novel
This book focuses on the narrative art of the early, middle and late new historical novels of British postmodernist formal experimenter Julian Barnes, and explores the development and changes of historical themes in different stages. This book points out that in his early and middle works, he used anti-realistic aesthetic experiments to show a diverse and uncertain history, leading readers to get rid of the shackles of the traditional single linear view of history, and revealing the difficulty of approaching the objective historical truth; but in his later works, he relied on meticulous realistic descriptions to truly reproduce objective historical events and answer the question of how to approach the historical truth in a unique way, thus transcending the extreme relativism of postmodernism in history.
