Can you recommend any historical fictions that center around John Brown?

One well - known historical fiction related to John Brown could be 'March' by Geraldine Brooks. It weaves a story that gives a sense of the era in which John Brown was active.

There are also some lesser - known works that touch on John Brown's story. However, not all are strictly 'historical novels' in the purest sense. Some may be fictionalized accounts based on historical events related to him. For example, certain novels might focus on the impact of his raid on Harpers Ferry on the local communities and the nation as a whole, but might not be as comprehensive as 'Cloudsplitter'.

There may be a historical fiction that portrays Mae as a pioneer in a fictionalized version of the early commercial spaceflight era. It could show how she navigated the new business - oriented space industry, the competition among different space companies, and how her actions influenced the future of commercial space exploration in this made - up but still historically - inspired story.

Sure. 'Bring Up the Bodies' by Hilary Mantel is a great one. It continues the story from 'Wolf Hall' and further explores the Tudor court's machinations. Thomas Cromwell is a central figure, and the book shows how people could be wrongly accused and labeled as traitors in that era. It's a great read for understanding the Tudor period's political and social fabric.

There might be a fictional account called 'Charles Martel: Defender of the Realm'. In this, you can expect to read about his battles against external enemies, his diplomatic efforts, and how he was seen by his contemporaries.

One good option is 'The Last Kingdom'. It focuses on the relationship between the Saxons and the Danes during the time of the English Saxons. It shows their wars, alliances, and the evolution of their cultures. The show also has some great acting and cinematography that enhance the overall viewing experience of this historical period.

Sorry, I'm not sure which 'Hanks' this is referring to. There could be many authors or creators named Hanks. Without more context, it's difficult to recommend a specific historical fiction from 1994.

A major theme is abolition. John Brown was a key figure in the fight against slavery, so novels about him often explore the moral and political aspects of the abolitionist movement.

I'd also recommend 'The Lotus Eaters'. It tells the story of a female photojournalist during the Vietnam War. The story is easy to follow and gives a different view of the war compared to many other works. It can be a great way for beginners to get into Vietnam historical fictions.

Another is 'The Dreamers'. While not directly about the 1918 flu, it has a similar concept of a mysterious illness spreading and affecting a community. It's really interesting in how it shows the psychological and social impacts of such an event.
