The Novels of Nadine Gordimer: History from the Inside

In Nadine Gordimer's view, the novel can present history as historians cannot. Moreover, this presentation is not fictional in the sense of being “untrue.” Rather, fiction deals with an area of activity usually inaccessible to the sciences of greater externally: the area in which historical process is registered as the subjective experience of individuals in society; fiction give us “history from the inside.” Gordimer's novels give us an extraordinary and unique insight into historical experience in the period in which she writes.
