Philosophical Historical Novels
Posted: Thu May 3rd, 2012, 7:11 am
Lots of historical novels have philosophical angles of one sort and another, but relatively few have delved into the lives of philosophers, from Plato and Aristotle to those of more recent centuries. Some of these novels, though, are among the best of the best, at least IMHO.
Richard Lee of the Historical Novel Society asked me to write a little something for the magnificent new incarnation of their website (same web address, with glorious new graphics, organization and features), so I covered "The Philosophical Historical Novel." Here's the link for anyone interested: http://historicalnovelsociety.org/guide ... cal-novel/.
And do check out the new HNS website: http://historicalnovelsociety.org/
