There he faced a new set of problems: Stalinist dogmatism about literature and literary criticism. Maneuvering between the obstacles of censorship, he wrote and published his longest work of literary criticism, \u003ci\u003eThe Historical Novel\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1937. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginning with the novels of Sir Walter Scott, \u003ci\u003eThe Historical Novel\u003c\/i\u003e documents the evolution of a genre that came to dominate European fiction in the years after Napoleon.
