- Abstract
This thesis compares the content of some of Shiba Ryotaro’s Shinsengumi novels with historical facts and sums up the influence of these two novels on later generations. Shiba Ryotaro’s Shinsengumi novels have had an impact on the dissemination of historical fragments and the creation of related works on the Shinsengumi in later generations, but the history of the Shinsengumi described by Shiba after selecting and discarding historical facts has significant discrepancies with historical facts, which misleads the construction of historical memory of the Shinsengumi in later generations and has been criticized by academia. The construction of the Shinsengumi is also one of Shiba’s historical perspectives, which has research value. When creating historical works, a balance between historical facts and fiction should be considered according to the needs of the work, and readers’ historical interests should be consciously aroused to pursue the truth of history.
