Historical fiction is a genre that tells stories set in the past, often incorporating real historical settings and events. While main characters are usually fictional, the genre aims to capture the manners and social conditions of the time. Authors may use artistic license but must adhere to historical accuracy unless creating alternate history. The narrative often presents events from fictional perspectives, sometimes involving famous people or events. Scientific facts must remain unchanged in these stories.
