Abstract: Julian Barnes is one of the most distinctive writers in the British contemporary literary world. He favors historical themes especially in his representative works such as “A History of the World in 101/2 Chapters”, “The Porcupine”, “Arthur and George”, “Flauberts Parrot” and so on, which can be attributed to Linda Hutcheons socalled “historiographic metafiction”. In his works we can see a kind of unique charm of history writing which is both with postmodern and the traditional features. In this rich and complex text world, “history” comes out again and again, and constantly selfquestion and expresses the authors unique thinking about “history”.

Key words: Julian Barnes, historical consciousness, historical novel
