| 520 | |a This article extends Georg Lukács's theorization pertaining to historical fiction by considering a novel written in response to colonial conditions. It treats Abdulhalim Sharar's Urdu Malik al-'Aziz and Virginia (1888) as a case where a fictional version of the encounter between Muslims and Christians during the crusades in the twelfth century is used to counter the colonial Indian present in the nineteenth century. I suggest that novels such as Sharar's exemplify a vein of global thought since the nineteenth century that resisted historicism but without abandoning the notion that the past was real. Deploying a genre that came to the fore in colonial conditions, Sharar imagines an alternative future by narrating the past otherwise via fiction. | ||
