Sarah Johnson’s Historical Fiction II: A Guide to the Genre		Donor: Sarah Johnson
Sarah Johnson’s Historical Fiction II: A Guide to the Genre is a single-volume introduction to recent and popular historical novels.  It focuses on English-language historical fiction for adults published between mid-2004 and mid-2008. The author’s unique approach involves classifying titles by subgenres, rather than strictly by geography and chronology; thereby grouping similar reads together. Chapters include traditional historical novels, multi-period epics, romances, sagas, historical westerns, historical mysteries, historical adventure, thrillers, literary historical novels, Christian fiction, time-slip novels, alternate history, and historical fantasy.  The book will give users a deeper understanding of the genre, an update on new titles, and an easy way to identify read-alikes and book club selections. More than 2,700 historical fiction titles, about 2,000 new to this volume, are organized and briefly reviewed. Historical Fiction II is a popular book on library reference shelves; here’s a chance to own a copy for yourself! Minimum Bid: $20
