42. Historical Fiction Talk By Brian Kiteley Daniel Boone . As for writing historical fiction myself, the thought of all that research depresses and intimidates me. How ratty http://www.du.edu/~bkiteley/history.htm

Something Gained in the Translation: Reading and Writing Historical Fiction Brian Kiteley Email me: bkiteley@du.edu Oscar Wilde said, “The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.” Contemporary writers of historical fiction seem to say “the one duty we owe to history is to reread it.” The main character Omar Khayyam Shakil in Shame makes a small disquisition on his own namesake Omar Khayyam. Salman Rushdie’s character says the other Omar Khayyam was never very popular in his native Persia; and he exists in the West in a translation that is really a complete reworking of his verses, in many cases very different from the spirit (to say nothing of the content) of the original. I, too, am a translated man. I have been borne across. It is generally believed that something is always lost in the translation; I cling to the notion—and use, in evidence, the success of Fitzgerald’s Khayyam—that something can also be gained. Gandhi was once asked what he thought of Western civilization. He said, “I think it would be a good idea.” So, too, historical fiction—it’s a great idea, if it were possible. This is a poor way to open a defense of a genre whose best known works in the first two-thirds of the 20th century were bodice-ripping romance novels. In the 19th century, War and Peace The Scarlet Letter Salammbo , and The Tale of Two Cities established historical material as a perfectly acceptable subject matter for that still new idea, the novel. During the period of high modernism, historical fiction fell out of fashion for various good and bad reasons. Roland Barthes, in

Home Up News About Tracy ... Writing Courses HISTORICAL RESEARCH ... Aarrgghh!! by Tracy Cooper If the very idea of "research" sends you white around the gills, read on. Divide and Conquer So... where do you start? If you’ve never tackled historical research before, the endless centuries worth of information can seem overwhelming. The trick is to divide everything into manageable portions. Dividing begins with historiography: the stuff in the books. There are two types, which for convenience I will call Political and Social. Political history is the stuff you learnt at school: Kings and Queens, movers and shakers, wars, governments. Most history books supply the political variety. Social history is the study of society; how people lived, usually focusing on the "common man". Writers need the social sort. You can find social histories, but they’re usually large, indigestible scholarly works that amble across centuries in the space of a sentence, and rarely descend to plebeian concerns such as what a heroine would wear, or think, or do with her time. Here’s how to use both types of history, and still get what you want.

window.defaultStatus="Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge" Department of History and Philosophy of Science RESEARCH METHODS GUIDE HOME SEARCH CONTACT Tools and Techniques for Historical Research Jim Secord If you are just starting out in HPS, this will be the first time for many years - perhaps ever - that you have done substantial library or museum based research. The number of general studies may seem overwhelming, yet digging out specific material relevant to your topic may seem like finding needles in a haystack. Before turning to the specific entries that make up this guide, there are a few general points that apply more widely. Planning your research Before beginning detailed work, it's obviously a good idea to read some of the secondary literature surrounding your subject. The more general books are listed on the reading lists for the Part II lecture courses, and some of the specialist literature is listed in these research guides. This doesn't need to involve an exhaustive search, at least not at this stage, but you do need to master the fundamentals of what's been done if you're going to be in a position to judge the relevance of anything you find. If there are lectures bein g offered in your topic, make sure to attend them; and if they are offered later in the year, try to see if you can obtain a preliminary bibliography from the lecturer. After that, it's usually a good idea to immerse yourself in your main primary sources as soon as possible. If you are studying a museum object, this is the time to look at it closely; if you're writing about a debate, get together the main papers relevant to it and give them a close read; if you're writing about a specific experiment, look at the published papers, the laboratory notebook, and the relevant letters. Don't spend hours in the early stages of research ferreting out hard-to-find details, unless you're absolutely positive that they are of central importance to the viability of your topic. Start to get a feel for the material you have, and the questions that might be explored further. Make an outline of the main topics that you hope to cover, organized along what you see as the most interesting themes (and remember, 'background' is not usually an interesting theme on its own).

52. Getting The Facts RIGHT-- Historical Romance 101 today. As someone who is interested in writing, I am well aware of the daunting task good historical research can be. It involves http://www.hodrw.com/historicalfacts.htm

Getting The Facts RIGHT Historical Romance 101 by Sonia Leger Recently I wrote a reader review for Amazon.com. While I did enjoy the book, I could not give it a five-star rating. Why? Because although the plot line and the characters were well thought out, the historical inaccuracies kept bringing me out of the story. The author had written a good contemporary story that, for some reason, she then decided to drop into the context of medieval times. However, it seemed to me that she neglected to consider how the change in historical setting would affect her work. As a result, a story about a father trying to do the politically correct thing by his brood of children just didn't ring true, especially since said father is also supposed to be the consummate warrior. As I pointed out in my review, had the author done any research on medieval times, she would have found that the norm in those days was for children to be considered chattel (as women were), an investment to be ignored until the children were old enough to serve some useful purpose. Until then, they were not to be seen or heard, let alone allowed to ride roughshod over their parents. My argument was not that the book I reviewed could not have been set in medieval times, but rather that if said author was going to deviate so significantly from the norms and values of the time, she should have at least addressed that fact at some point in the tale.

53. When Men Were Men And Women Were Everything    Writing Historical Romances  research! Accuracy is critical in writing historicals. Without even leaving our office chairs, we can research and write entire historical novels! http://www.hodrw.com/menmenwomen.htm

When Men Were Men and Women Were Everything Writing Historical Romances By Becci Clayton What character can feed a household of hundreds, practice healing arts, raise babies, animals and organic produce, wield a sword like a warrior and conquer her man's heart, all in a single day? Why, the heroine of historical romances, of course! It's what Susan Wiggs describes as the "larger than life" or medieval heroine. Why do we love her? In Susan's words it is, "One of the aspects readers find so gratifying...because in the resolution of the love story, the hero is made to accept that the woman he loves is a strong, brave, independent person and not his inferior." Mix in the added difficulty of following the different and often stringent etiquette and social norms of the time period plus the beauty and danger of a more primitive time and you have the perfect mix for romantic conflict. More than any other type of story, historicals can use the setting to heighten the emotional appeal and intensity of our story. Not only must our heroine prove herself strong and brave in the face of adversity but she must do it during times in history when strong women were frowned upon or even disowned for being what she was naturallya leader among men! What are some of the popular time periods? Most major publishers are now listing historicals as any time prior to 1900. Just a few popular periods include:

How to Research Historical Fiction by Rita Gerlach Doing research for the historical novel can either be one of the most tedious jobs for a writer or one of the most enjoyable, besides writing the novel itself. We hear the phrase, write what you know. Research helps you do just that. The writer should look at the task of researching as an adventure, an unveiling of facts that perhaps have long been forgotten. Research will help you capture the setting of your novel. It will enable and equip you to make your novel flow and come alive. It will enhance your narrative. It will allow you to help the reader hear, taste, touch, smell, and see the setting as well as your characters. There are 5 steps you can take to effectively research your novel. 1. The Local Library Research does not have to be mind-boggling. The first step is researching the location of your novel. Think of who, what, when, where, and why. Your local library is an excellent place to begin. For example your novel takes place during the War of 1812. The first place I would start for simple and basic historical facts in the juvenal section. There you should find a book outlining the events of the war. Search for the style of dress, modes of transportation, what people ate, music, medicine, etc. Check encyclopedias and reference books. By now you have gathered some basic information. But how do you find those hidden facts? Where are those untold stories? Reference books and biographies can provide a lot of information. But your best source is your librarian. Ask for help, and tell the librarian you are writing a novel and need additional information the encyclopedias and reference books cannot provide. Your librarian should be able to direct you to the best information available.

This article is part of a series drawn from work in the Handbook of Reading Research: Volume III ). In the coming months, Reading Online will publish additional chapter summaries from the book, prepared by the chapter authors. Historical Research in Literacy E. Jennifer Monaghan Douglas K. Hartman Values A Short History ... References Values of Studying the History of Literacy The value of history has its own history, called historiodicy Marrou, 1966 ). Because historical work is so often marginalized in the literacy community, we begin this article by sketeching briefly reasons why studying the history of literacy is of value ( The most time-honored rationale for knowing and doing history is that we can learn from the past. The challenge, however, is in knowing which lessons to draw on and how best to make use of them. Straightforward applications of the past to the present can distort events and lead to erroneous conclusions. At its best, history provides us with possible rather than probable understandings, and the ability to take precautions rather than control possible futures. Historical research also promotes interdisciplinary inquiry and understanding. To answer the questions that matter in our past we must make contact with a wider circle of colleagues and their work, from librarians to antiquarians.
