S. Johnson
Samuel Johnson was alive to the perils of approaching literary works with inappropriate demands. Realizing that anyone who read Rich ardson for the story would hang himself, he suggested that we read him " for the sentiment, and consider the story as only giving occasion to the sentiment. " Johnson's remarks reveal an interest in the function and hierarchy of the parts that constitute artistic wholes ; he recog nizes the importance of determining whether one aspect of a work of art exists for the sake of another. I do not intend to suggest that we read all historical novels for the history, and consider the story as only giving occasion to the history, but in this chapter and the next one, I do want to take a close look at the different roles history has played in standard historical fiction. Tzvetan Todorov asserts that there are two possible ways to arrive at generic groupings : " theoretical genres" stem from " a deduction of a theoretical order, " whereas "historical genres" stem from " an ob servation of literary reality. " 1 My interest in the uses of history in fic tion is neither purely theoretical nor purely historical. Instead of at-

Scott did not believe in changing history merely to suit his fictional convenience, though he was willing to alter specific historical details to reveal with greater clarity fundamental historical patterns. He be lieved in telling the truth about history. He was often cavalier in his attitude toward novels, especially those produced by his contempora ries, Jane Austen excepted. But he was serious indeed about history and the duties of historians. Despite the low opinion he often ex pressed of the novel as a genre, we have every reason to think that he agreed with his friend Gifford's opinion, expressed in the anonymous review (which Scott coauthored) of Tales of My Landlord, Series One, that the successful historical novelist "takes his seat on the bench of the historians of his time and country. " 1 Scott's sense o f history was based upon his sense o f place. In an au tobiographical sketch composed in r 808 , he describes how a sense of place grew on him as a youth : "The love of natural beauty, more es pecially when combined with ancient ruins, or remains of our fathers' piety or splendour, became with me an insatiable passion ."2 This in tense feeling for the historical associations of specific locales never left
