Abstract
Historical literature is both a kind of narrative configuration and a story-telling that aims to question the meaning of life. Thus, the key to understanding and evaluating historical literature is to investigate its historical awareness from an interdisciplinary perspective. Historical literature makes full use of historical materials that are inevitably configured by contemporary life. Historical sense, therefore, is what makes historical literature possible.
