| | Historical novel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | As such, the historical novel is distinguished from the alternate-history genre. | | | Historical fiction may center on historical or on fictional characters, but usually represents an honest attempt based on considerable research (or at least serious reading) to tell a story set in the historical past as understood by the author's contemporaries. | | | Charles Dickens' Barnaby Rudge is set amid the Gordon Riots, and A Tale of Two Cities in the French Revolution. |

| | CORK Bibliography: Historical |
| | The surviving historical texts, all later than Alexander's epoch, are based on a series of contemporary histories and especially on the 'Royal journals', an official diary written in the imperial court. | | | The use of history in public policy-making is being rediscovered, in particular by historians in the UK. | | | Reformers repeated the stories of drinkers they knew or knew about, and temperance novelists, short story writers, poets, songwriters, and playwrights created fictional accounts of drunkards' lives. |

| | The Observer Review Granta's grotto |
| | Granta's list is a marketing exercise on behalf of contemporary literature, and was the brainchild of Desmond Clarke, who ran the Book Marketing Council in the early 1980s, before literary novelists acquired their present status as minor celebrities. | | | Both lists promoted the odd author who scarcely wrote another word (Ursula Bentley, Adam Lively); but, on the whole, the selections provided a telling snapshot of talent as it surfaced. | | | Nick Barlay (author of a trilogy of low-life stories told in London demotic) and Andrew Crumey (who holds a PhD in physics and has written four novels) were both disqualified for being too old. |

| | British Women's Novels |
| | Unless of course you are a modern novel lover like the famed modern novelist who wrote the introduction to the Pandora edition and feels that maybe--if you accept that the novel is trashy soap opera--the book is worth buying more than a salad. | | | Emmeline's female friends are anything but conventional--one has an adulterous affair and a baby out of wedlock, and another leaves her husband because he is a financial idiot (he tries to use old wigs as fertilizer!) Big, long, and full of detail of life in 1788, Emmeline is a good read. | | | It is quite easy to get a copy of this novel which has been promoted as an early "American" novel, but I think it is one of the more inferior works upon this list. |

| | Amazon.com: King Hereafter (Vintage): Books: Dorothy Dunnett |
| | Dorothy Dunnett has written an outstanding work of historical fiction that captures the spirit and style of the old Icelandic sagas, together with the humour. | | | Whether MacBeth was Thorfinn, Earl of Orkney, or Duncan, King of Alba, or someone else entirely, has little to do with the value of this book - a work of historical fiction. | | | This is a long book, but I for one enjoyed every page. |
