description This work describes the evolution of Argentine Historical Novel from its origins in Romanticism to the present times. It establishes its peculiarity within the Latin American context, where most of historical "national romances" (Doris Sommer) put on scene the union of opposites in the founding race mixture. This seldom occurs in Argentine Historical Novel, except for the particular outlook present in several female writers, out of canon. So, they anticipate the concerns of Historical Novel in the end of 20th Century.Beyond the critical discussions about the proceedings that should, or not, be considered as "postmodernist", maybe the difference lays in the certainty that History is not "the fact", but "the narration" of facts not accessible by themselves. Historical Novel claims, then, to be the "alternative narrative", another version that includes the perspective of the excluded ones. It relocates a dimension of intimacy, corporeality, sexuality, in heroes’ lives. And it also pursues the rescue of inner subjective experience of women and subalterns (ethnical and of social class), but by bringing them out of the anonymous crowd, the private space, in order to endow then with distinct personalities, relevant on public spaces.
