Yes, I agree, there's no better way to learn about the past than by reading well-researched and well-imagined historical fiction. I'd never heard of Anya Seton, but now I'm definitely going to pick up a few of her books and give her a go. Thank you.
Love your talk about historical novels .as a teenager love them and they started my pasion for history. I have read and love many of the books and series that you mentioned .As a teenager and later loved jean plady that really made history come alive. Also a contemporary author that must not be overlooked in historical mysteries is kerry greenwood and her fabulous pryne fisher mysteries.thank you for this talk have enjoyed it and will go and reread some that you mentioned❤❤
So glad you enjoyed it. I also learned lots of history from Jean Plaidy, who also wrote historical novels under the name Victoria Holt. Did you read her too? I hope you enjoy some of those I recommended.
@@SusannahFullertonBookAddict yes. I have also read victoria holt. Have read many of the ones you recomended but not all and look foward to reading them. Loved the maisie dobbs series.really made that time come alive.
Great video. I quite enjoy the Hornblower books, but have yet to watch the television show. Will have to give the Aubrey/Maturin series a try, though I hear they're more of a dry read by comparison.
I have never actually read the Hornblower books, but loved the TV series. I read a few of the Patrick O'Brien books, but didn't love them. However, my Dad adored them and read every one.
