"A historic novel" is valuable for gaining context about historical events but is unreliable as evidence.

A novel that has as its background in a time of history and that endeavors to pass on the soul, conduct, and social states of a past age with reasonable detail and fidelity, which in a few example is just apparent fidelity, to authentic truth. The work may discuss real authentic individuals.
