A Guide to the Best Historical Novels and Tales

A Guide to the Best Historical Novels and Tales is a bibliographical work by Jonathan Nield.

Author's Introduction:

It is not proposed, in these preliminary remarks, to sketch in detail the origin and growth of the Historical Novel; this has already been amply done by Professor Saintsbury and others. I shall be content to approach the subject on its general side, offering, at the same time, some critical suggestions which will, I hope, not be without value to readers of Romance.
