The longest chapters cover traditional historical novels, romance, mysteries, literary fiction, and Christian fiction. Much shorter are multi-period epics, time-slips, alternate history, and historical fantasy. Sagas, Westerns, adventure, and thrillers are somewhere in the middle.Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-2729904811744028502009-03-21T10:53:00.000-05:002009-03-21T10:53:00.000-05:00Of the 2,700 books, how many fall into each of the...Of the 2,700 books, how many fall into each of the various categories?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-990893220934848082009-03-21T09:35:00.000-05:002009-03-21T09:35:00.000-05:00Heh.

Pan Macmillan has published other book-length studies on various aspects of HF, but I rarely hear about them until much later. I need to start getting copies of their academic catalogs!<BR/><BR/>Danja - actually (although I get that question a lot) I don't think I'll be writing my own historical novel anytime soon. Generally speaking, I suck at storytelling so would rather leave it to those who know what they're doing :)<BR/><BR/>Marie and Lynn - truth be told, my TBR encompasses more than those piles (sigh) but those are the recent arrivals that aren't on shelves yet because I've run out of space. I think they multiply when I'm not home.<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the award, PK!

I don't have a separate chapter for historical fiction with GLBT characters or themes, but there are some examples scattered throughout the other chapters, and findable via the subject index. There's another book in the same series as mine that focuses on the topic, though: <A HREF="http://lu.com/showbook.cfm?isbn=9781591581949" REL="nofollow"><I>Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Literature: A Genre Guide</I></A>, by Ellen Bosman and John P. Bradford. My library has a copy - it's quite good, and it has a separate chapter for historical fiction.
