Historical Fiction (Bookshelf)

This page is a blatant ripoff of the Historical fiction page of the Distributed Proofreaders Wiki.

Origin of this list

For those keen on "Closing the set", the following list is cut & pasted & edited from A Guide to the Best Historical Novels and Tales , by Jonathan Neild. (1902)

This work was referenced in the book introduction and might be of interest:

"A Descriptive Catalogue of Historical Novels and Tales, for the use of School Libraries and Teachers of History," compiled and described by H. Courthope Bowen, M. A. (Edward Stanford, 1882.)

Notes about this list

• PG ebooks listed are in English unless another language is specified.
• Due to the source text used, nothing published post-1902 is listed here at present.
• Books currently without a PG edition are listed here with the publisher of a pre-1902 edition. If you have one of these books without a PG edition, please consider helping us fill the gap. Other language editions of an existing PG text are also welcome.

A less restricted list would, of course, include the Semi-Historic examples of such Foreign authors as Madame de Stael, Balzac, Spielhagen, &c. The purport of this book being primarily in the direction of Historical Romance proper, I have confined my attention here to a few works on the borderland of my

Suggested Courses of Reading — Juvenile

As likely to assist Parents and Teachers, I propose to give two lists (covering English History from the Norman Conquest) for Boys and Girls respectively; but a passing allusion may, first of all, be made to tales dealing with more ancient periods. For the illustration of Greek and Roman History, those books of Professor A. J. Church which are entered in my Pre-Christian section may be safely recommended; while the pictures of First Century life given in Wallace's "Ben Hur ," Lytton's "Last Days of Pompeii ," and Whyte Melville's "The Gladiators" are, perhaps, as likely to interest an intelligent boy or girl in the "teen" stage as any similar productions that could be mentioned. Turning to the Early History of our own isle, I would specially mention Mr. Henty's "Beric the Briton "; the "Aescendune" series of tales ("Edwy the Fair ," "Alfgar the Dane ," and "The Rival Heirs ") by the late Rev. A. D. Crake; Mr. C. W. Whistler's "Havelok the Dane ," "A Thane of Wessex ," &c.; and the various books chosen to represent Alfred and his times.

In preparing the following lists, I have had in view, for the most part, the average Juvenile taste; doubtless many of the more advanced works might be offered in special cases, but, in regard to that, the Parent or Teacher can alone judge. Some of the tales entered in (I.) reappear in (II.), but a comparison will disclose important differences. A reference to the General List will, in most cases, reveal a more exact specification; for the sake of convenience, the tales are here grouped according to Reigns only.

Of the romances dealing with American and Foreign History to be found in the foregoing pages, many are suitable for young readers; but the sequence not being very close (for any lengthy period at least), separate lists would appear superfluous. Such writers (to mention only a few) as Fennimore Cooper, Mrs. J. G. Austin, G. C. Eggleston, Kirk Munroe, and Elbridge S. Brooks, may be particularly recommended for American History; while Scott, Dumas, Charlotte M. Yonge, Miss Roberts (author of "Mademoiselle Mori"), and G. A. Henty, have all illustrated—in more or less adequate fashion—the course of events in Foreign Countries. The novels of Dumas are not infrequently considered somewhat "strong meat," but his "She-Wolves of Machecoul" and "Black Tulip " may be safely placed in any hands.
