Abstract

The authors of historical novels, in their statements, always refer to the documentary sources that relied on fictional representation of the material historical origins. These relationships can range from reverent obedience to the disqualification of sources such as space claim of historical truth. This paper maps some of these positions adopted by contemporary authors or the past.
