N. D. Popescu and the Historical Consumption Novels
Abstract: The article aims to identify some of the peculiarities of the 19th century outlaw novel in relation to the conventions and the stereotypes of the historical novel, focusing on N. D. Popescu’s novels. The author almost always proves rather undemanding about the accuracy of historical data, not necessarily for strictly literary reasons, but rather to better fit the adventures and actions of the characters in accordance with the moralizing intention of his writings, present in almost all his novels. It is not by chance that he always chooses the sources that best fit his stated intentions.
Keywords: genre theory, 19th century literature, Romanian literature, Romanian novel, novel subgenres, historical novel, N. D. Popescu.
