Excerpt from A Guide to British Historical Fiction NO attempt need be made to demonstrate the value of historical fiction as a handmaiden to history proper. Prompted by the consideration that teachers of History have rarely sufficient time to read or to search for suitable novels to recommend to their pupils, the authors have prepared this guide in the hope that it Will be found useful to teachers in Secondary and Elementary Schools, and by students of History generally. The list, which is representative and not exhaustive, has been compiled with a view to illustrating every phase of British History to which reference is usually made in an ordinary School course. In the case of events which might be termed historical landmarks, a wider range of choice has been presented, and efforts have been made to include books which treat of the events from different, and often conflicting, points of View. In certain periods, mediocre works have, faute de mieux, found a place, while in others, e.g., the Civil War, the Revolution, the 'forty-five, the 'ninety-eight, the task has been that of selection rather than that of investigation. Some works which are out of print have been included, but libraries - private and public - are still stocked with many of these the same consideration has led to the inclusion of most of the works of Ainsworth, James and other standard authors, whose volumes decorate - and, it is to be feared, Often gather dust on the bookshelves of many English households. In the late 19th Century it has been necessary to tread warily, and novels dealing with controversial and debatable questions have been largely excluded. In conclusion, it should be observed that perfect accuracy is not claimed for the dates assigned to the books: they are intended to point out rather than to point the period.
