歴史のX = History of X?

Hi, I'm doing a project on the History of Nou (plays), but was wondering if this is the correct format for laying out the phrase "The History of X"

It would be the opposite. When the possessive の particle is used, the order resembles the use of the English "apostrophe s"

So, 能の歴史 would be "The History of Nou." If it helps, you can think of it like "Noh's History".
