The List of Historical Novels in Mudie's Library Catalogue (The New
Enlarged Edition, January, 1902).
[Non-selective, but useful more especially on account of its
Topographical arrangement.]
The list of Historical Tales given in J. S. Lindsey's "Certificate
Note-Book of European History, 1814-1848." (Heffer & Sons,
Cambridge, 1902).
"History of English Romanticism in the Nineteenth Century," by
Henry A. Beers (Kegan Paul & Co., 1902).
[Contains some valuable direct criticism. See especially Chapter
I.]
The "Dedicatory Epistle" in Scott's "Ivanhoe."
The very brief but exceedingly suggestive opening section in
Chapter I. of Charles Reade's "The Cloister and the Hearth."
The Preface to Scheffel's "Ekkehard."
NOTE.
Some of the American Public Libraries (notably Boston) have issued useful Lists of Historical Novels.
