A Guide to the Best Historical Novels and Tales by Jonathan Nield
These historical novels have taught all men this truth, which looks like a truism, and yet was as good as unknown to writers of history and others, till so taught: that the bygone ages of the world were actually filled by living men, not by protocols, state-papers, controversies, and abstractions of men.
—Carlyle on the Waverley novels.
