About this title

Synopsis

Unearth the novels that make history live. History breathes between these pages. Volume II of History In Fiction is Ernest A. Baker's persuasive, thoroughly researched historical fiction guide and companion to historical fiction: a measured survey that points readers toward the best historical novels without losing sight of nuance. Clear, compact commentary and carefully chosen recommendations show how romance saga anthology favourites sit alongside weightier sagas and intimate tales, revealing how authors weave research, character and imagination. For those drawn to classic historical romances or assembling a broader literary fiction collection, Baker's approach balances readable judgement with a critic's eye, helping readers place works within their cultural and chronological context. Organised as a practical historical tales reference, the book makes connections across periods and national traditions - from victorian era literature that shaped modern popular taste to british historical novels that interrogate identity, society and memory. It serves both as a reliable reading list and a catalogue of critical ideas: the sort of volume readers of historical fiction consult when choosing novels for solitary pleasure or for shared discussion. Librarians and book-club leaders will find it helpful for curating choices and shaping book club recommendations, while collectors and scholars may use it as a lens on changing aesthetic priorities. As part of the wider body of ernest a baker works, this volume maps the evolution of genre and taste and rewards both casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. For anyone seeking a companion to historical fiction or a well-informed companion volume to guide further reading, this edition returns an influential voice to the shelf, elegant, authoritative and accessible for modern readers and collectors.
