Abstract
This article reveals the findings of a research using the theory of “Time in Narration” through the inductive method for studying time in Beihaqi’s History. “Time in Narration” discusses the time division of narration; whereas in this research it is discussed on the basis of Gerard Genet’s theory; shaped in three major central points; regularity, constancy and frequency. Although the theories about the devices and methods of time within historical and literary narrations belong to the twentieth century, the analysis of information shows that Beihaqi has artistically utilized these techniques and devices unconsciously; creating a work which enjoys fictional aspects as much as historical aspects. Considering the final results of this research, brevity, development, retrospection, foresight, and alternation are some of the most significant time devices used by the author in order to make history close to the literary domain.
 
 

Keywords: Beihaqi’s History, Time of Narration, length and order of time, retrospection, foresight
