It might be because some people have narrow views and don't appreciate the diversity and creativity within genre fiction.

The bias against genre fiction could stem from a lack of understanding of its unique appeal and the way it can engage readers differently. Maybe it's seen as less 'serious' or literary, but that's a unfair assessment.

How can we identify bias in historical fiction?

1 answer
2024-11-05 06:38

We can identify bias in historical fiction by examining the characters. Check if the female characters are only portrayed in traditional, subservient roles without any agency or if they are just there for the male characters' development. Also, look at the class representation. If the working class is always shown as uneducated and dirty, while the upper class is always noble and intelligent, it's likely a biased view. Moreover, the language used can be a giveaway. If there are loaded terms that carry a negative or positive connotation towards a particular group without proper historical context, then bias exists.
