Product Information

Kwledge of the culture, politics, customs and events of a historical period and the judicious placement in a historical vel can facilitate a sense of reality and provides interest in the characters and their challenges. Most historical resources are dry tomes you have to wade through to find the jewels that can bring your vel to life. Historical Research for Novel Writers takes a visual approach to make the research easier and more compelling. The information you can find within this book has t only facts and figures, but access to letters and diaries, videos and audio files with music, speeches and oral accounts of life in earlier times. A large chapter covers Daily Life in numerous countries and cultures. This information goes into depth as to clothing, food, literature, inventions, etiquette and customs, major events and housing. Travel essays written from the 16th century describes the transportation, villages, farms and occupations. Photography or sketches illustrate conditions to better allow the writer to add accurate description and detail to his or her manuscript.
