	Historical novel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A historical novel is a novel in which the story is set among historical events, or more generally, in which the time of the action predates the lifetime of the author.
		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.
		The genre of the historical novel has also permitted some authors, such as the Polish novelist Bolesław Prus in his sole historical novel, Pharaoh, to distance themselves from their own time and place in order to gain perspective on society and on the human condition, or to escape the depredations of the censor.

	CORK Bibliography: Historical
		This historical research explores the context of addiction in the nursing profession with reference to social, medical, political, and legal events from 1850 until the American Nurses' Association officially acknowledged addiction in the nursing profession in 1982 with guidelines for the impaired nurse.
		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.
		From historical information, we believe that the explanation for our findings lies primarily with the increasing poverty, disease, mental illness, alcohol abuse and criminal activity among women admitted to the hospital between 1860 and the mid-1870s, and improvements from around 1880, when old housing was replaced and prostitutes were moved out of the area.

	An Annotated List of Bibliographies and Companions for Critical and Historical Literature on Anthony Trollope's Life ...
		This is very poor; I list it because it is inexpensive and readily available from used bookstores sites,and for the sake of completeness as the fourth of the handbooks on Trollope's novels.
		It includes a list of books which contain remarks on Trollope's art and attitudes by contemporaries and respected late 19th and early 20th century writers which are more accurate and respectful of the man than some of what is sometimes assumed today.
		Indispensable for its listings of early and recent editions and sets and its long bibliography from the late 19th century to 1990.

	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.
		Granta's list, like all literary prizes, is an attempt to bypass market imperfections, and is loved and loathed by publishers, who are inclined to dismiss it as irrelevant when they aren't included, and to applaud its detachment and authority when they are.
		AL Kennedy appears on the list for the second time, 'and if anyone was a certainty, she was,' says McCrum.

	Cascoly - Amazon: Bookstore Dorothy Dunnett
		Here she concentrates on the little known period immediately after the conquest of Constantinople, when the Byzantine empire struggled to survive in a corner of the Black Sea.
		Never light reading, Dunnett is at the top of my list of historical novelists.
		Among the other ideas she incorporates are the concepts of the pre-capitalist, pre-mercantilist kingdoms [in Bobbitt's terms, Princely states rather than Kingly states] where the 'monarch' might actually hold little land, and whose power relied on holding together an amalgam of territories that had no natural borders.

	Literary Criticism Study Guide
		The historical approach, for instance, might be helpful in addressing a problem in Thomas Otway's play Venice Preserv'd.
		Historical / Biographical critics see works as the reflection of an author's life and times (or of the characters' life and times).
		New Critics refer to the historical / biographical critic's belief that the meaning or value of a work may be determined by the author's intention as "the intentional fallacy." They believe that this approach tends to reduce art to the level of biography and make it relative (to the times) rather than universal.

		Dan Brown is a fraud: A list of errors in Angels and Demons
		Unfortunately, these many historians that he appears to believe seem to ignore the historical fact that the design was 18th Century rather than 20th Century.
		His fudging historical facts, like the origin of the great seal (founding fathers, not Henry Wallace), that the Hashashin were eradicated by other muslims, etc., is simply unforgivable.

		This is a tale of the two daughters that Mary Queen of Scots had in a secret marriage (need I add this is a historical fantasy?) The two daughters are raised in a hidden underground cave (the recess) and manage to get out and make the two worst marriages possible.
		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.
		The heroine paints historical pictures to earn money and is pursued by a raping, murdering, kidnapping jerk who sends her off to the American wilderness.

		Anyway, it's reassuring that the historical background is as good as she could make it, plus it's a ripping (hacking, stabbing, disembowelling...) good yarn.
		Among the other ideas she incorporates are the concepts of the pre-capitalist, pre-mercantilist kingdoms [in Bobbitt's [Shield of Achilles] terms, Princely states rather than Kingly states] where the 'monarch' might actually hold little land, and whose power relied on holding together an amalgam of territories that had no natural borders.
		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.
