The Essay on 〃The Historical Novel〃 in Prof。 J。 Brander Matthews'
〃The Historical Novel and other essays〃 （Scribner's； 1901）。
＇Originally appeared in The Forum； September； 1897。 Represents
that School of Criticism which is most adverse to Historical Romance。
Some of the Professor's remarks convey the impression that he disbelieves
in ANY reconstruction of the Past； such an attitude is； surely； unfavourable
to History itself； which is always more than any mere statement of
〃facts。〃＇

＇Contains some valuable direct criticism。 See especially Chapter I。＇

NOTE。
Some of the American Public Libraries （notably Boston） have issued
useful Lists of Historical Novels。
Two worksannounced for a considerable timeI should have been
glad to consult； these are Mr。 P。 L。 Ford's 〃The American Historical
Novel〃 （Macmillan）； and Mr。 E。 A。 Baker's 〃Guide to Fiction〃
（Sonnensehein）。 The last…named volume will； I understand； contain a
section devoted to Historical Romance。
