"Historical fiction" is a genre of fiction that refers to works that take place within a specific historical period. What defines "historical" depends on the publisher, but it's usually at least 50 years old, if not older.

There are various historical subgenres too, depending on the publisher and other genres the story might fit into. For example, there are historical romance fiction stories, and within that category, there are "Regency" (1811-1820) stories, Westerns, Medieval, and so on.
