Notes
The third millennium witnessed a remarkable return to the historical novel, in a dialogue with history and a reshaping of its events and characters. Among the most important historical texts is the novel The Spartan Diwan, which returned to a sensitive period in national history in which Ottoman rule intersected with French colonialism, and the Algerians’ revolts against it. This makes us wonder how all these groups are represented in the novelistic text, and did historical imagination change the image of each group, or did the novel reproduce images in their stereotypical form, and the cultural reading of the novel makes us acknowledge that the novelist restored In many passages, stereotypical images of the European other are produced, while the novel’s distinction was in its depiction of marginalized people, especially women, and revolutionaries among the general Algerian population.
