Abstract
Focusing on the forms of new historical fiction, this article analyzes general artistic features of its narrative. Since new historical fiction no longer attempts to construct a historical stage of facts, the writing patterns of previous historical fiction have been gradually broken. In the new artistic forms — fade-out and circularity of time, "intertextualized" narrative strategy, personalized historical discourse — new historical fiction assumes new meanings, which gives its text fictitious charm. The type of fiction uses new narrative to depict history which, significantly different from the past, embodies the wisdom of literary creation and also provides a new possibility for the development of fiction.
