Can you recommend some early 1900 historical fiction books?

I would recommend 'A Place of Greater Safety' by Hilary Mantel. It's about the French Revolution which is an important part of the early modern period. 'Gates of Fire' by Steven Pressfield is set in ancient Greece but also has elements relevant to the early modern ideas of heroism and warfare. Also, 'The Red Tent' by Anita Diamant, which gives a different perspective on the biblical story, which is also part of the early modern historical and cultural context.

Sure. 'Ivanhoe' by Sir Walter Scott is a great one. It's set in 12th - century England and has knights, outlaws, and lots of adventure. Another is 'The Canterbury Tales' by Geoffrey Chaucer, which gives a vivid picture of medieval English society through the tales told by a group of pilgrims.

A really interesting one is 'The High Kings' by Morgan Llywelyn. It delves deep into the power struggles and the culture of early medieval Ireland. This book combines historical facts with fictional elements in a very engaging way. You can get a great sense of the political landscape, the religious beliefs, and the daily life of the people during that time.

One of the famous early science fiction books is 'War of the Worlds' by H.G. Wells. It describes an alien invasion on Earth, which was really a revolutionary idea at that time. 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court' by Mark Twain also has some elements of science fiction as it involves a modern man traveling back in time to the era of King Arthur.

One great book is 'The Joy Luck Club' by Amy Tan. It tells the stories of Chinese - American immigrant women and their relationships with their daughters, exploring themes of cultural identity and the immigrant experience.

There is also 'The House of the Seven Gables' which, while not solely set in New Orleans, has elements related to the early southern gothic genre that was prevalent in New Orleans. It has a sense of mystery and old - world charm that was characteristic of early New Orleans fiction.

Another notable work is 'I, Claudius' by Robert Graves. Set in the early Roman Empire which was part of the broader early medieval period in a sense. It offers a fictionalized account of the life of Claudius, filled with court drama, power struggles, and historical details that bring the era to life.

Sure. 'The Other Boleyn Girl' is a great one. It offers a fictionalized look at the life of Mary Boleyn in the Tudor court.

Well, 'Wolf Hall' is also likely to be on such a list. It delves deep into the life of Thomas Cromwell in the court of Henry VIII. The book is known for its detailed portrayal of the historical setting, the complex characters, and the political maneuverings of the time. It really makes you feel like you are in that era, experiencing the events as they unfold.

One of the books from that list could be 'The Goldfinch' by Donna Tartt. It's a great historical fiction with a rich narrative set in different time periods.
