Imagining Ancient Women, Paperback / softback Book

Imagining Ancient Women Paperback / softback

Part of the Henry Kreisel Memorial Lecture Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Annabel Lyon's passion for historical novels and her love of ancient Greece make her lecture on the process of creating characters of historical fiction captivating.

She discusses the process of wading through historical sources-and avoiding myriad pitfalls-to craft believable people to whom readers can relate.

Finding familiarity with figures from the past and then, with the help of hindsight, discovering their secrets, are the foremost tools of the historical novel writer.

Readers interested in the literary creative process and in writing or reading historical fiction will find Lyon's comments insightful and intriguing.
