Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide: Historical Novels & History - Page 2

See how well-read you are in certain genres or explore more books in your favourite genre.
Sourced from "Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide" (Nick Rennison, 8th edn, 2009)
Historical Novels: "These books are ... 'true' novels which are given extra depth and colour by their setting in the past, by the way they show recognizable relationships, family life, hopes and fears in a context of historical events."
History: "books which go a long way to proving the often-expressed opinion that the best stories are to be found not in fiction but in fact, not in the imaginary worlds of novelists but in the real worlds of the past."
