Historical Fiction (Bookshelf)
From Project Gutenberg, the first producer of free electronic books (ebooks).
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.
Author's note:
NOTE—the order in which the books are placed is, on the whole, according to the periods dealt with; occasionally the grouping decided on has prevented absolute correctness in this respect.
