Sanitized Juana
In response to MLEs comments about Year of Wonders or author Gortners elimination of Juana-la-Locas religious zeal it seems to me that the most amazing part of HF has been eliminated. Whats so amazing is to discover that lots of real life events from the past are even more interesting than one...

In Paris (France, not Texas). Its 1960. US pilot Gary Powers has just been shot down and Khrouchtchev has walked out of the Paris Peace Talks. An interesting period to be in, just before the better known 60s that really began in 1964 with bell-bottom pants, long hair and drugs-sex-and-rock-and-roll.

HF or SF or HSF?
Some time ago I came across a HF writer who stated something along the lines that hed changed the outcome of the war, because defeat didnt fit as well in his story (He was talking about a real war). As I recall, he added: After all were talking about historical fiction, not a history book. I ...

HF or not HF. That is the question
Yes, quite so Madeleine! A couple of hours after posting my comment on P&P I realized that at the time it was written it would be considered contemporary but I thought it was interesting to let the comment stand anyway. Why? Because categories shift and change over the years. Some minor genres of ...

2 kinds of readers?
Could one make a difference between historical Chick-Lit and the rest? I say this in the sense that perhaps historical Chick-Lit applies to one kind of reader, and the rest to another category, that of course has its own sub-categories such as mentioned by MLE (Action-adventure, historical s...
