The Oxford Book of Historical Stories by Michael Cox
Historical fiction is as popular today as it was at its birth in the 19th century. The imaginative recreation of a period beyond living memory has a power to evoke the past better than any history textbook. The stories in this collection travel in time from pre-history and the ancient Greeks to Regency bucks and Edwardian sufragettes, by way of medieval Europe, the English Civil War and the French Revolution. As well as the giants of the genre - Stanley Weyman, Rafael Sabatini, and Georgette Heyer among them - this anthology also includes tales by Elizabeth Gaskell, Thomas Hardy, Aldous Huxley, William Faulkner and Marjorie Bowen, and by writers from the golden age of the Victorian magazine.| SKU | Unavailable |
