Books That Are Snapshots in Time and Place

All books are reflective of the times in which they were written. The customs, pastimes, cultural context and overall messages and symbolism are fascinating insights into times and places often far, far away from our reality. All books on this list offer interesting insights into the lives and times of their authors - or, the imaginary world their authors imagined from their own time and place.
