historical non-fiction

Historical non-fiction refers to written works that present factual accounts of past events, people, and societies. These texts aim to inform and educate readers about history using evidence from primary and secondary sources, such as documents, artifacts, or expert analysis. Unlike novels or fictional stories, historical non-fiction prioritizes accuracy and seeks to represent events as they occurred, often exploring themes, causes, and consequences. Examples include biographies, historical analyses, and documentaries, which help readers understand the complexities of history and its relevance to present-day issues.
