About This Novel
Can the vanished past regain a sense of reality through fictional words? How do the stories of aging spark new sparks in later writing? Focusing on the theme of "history and story", A. S. Byatt compiled seven related essays and speech records. They not only comment on past history and ancient nature in historical novels, but also discuss the revival of myths, legends and fairy tale elements in recent European literature, as well as the subtle boundary between reality and fiction that Byatt demonstrated through his personal creative experience. "On History and Stories" is based on rich novel texts and relies on profound knowledge to break through the barriers of historical time and space. It outlines the complex relationship between history and novels for readers, and inspires them to rethink the significance of the past to the present.
