CONTEMPORARY HISTORICAL NOVELS, Part 2
Contemporary Historical Novels, 2![Marto4[1]1[1]1](../../../files/legacy/Marto4%5b1%5d1%5b1%5d1cdef.jpg?1144792800 "</i>")
In its first issue, Transcript featured historical novels by Drago Jancar, Jaan Kross, Steve Sem-Sandberg, Wiliam Owen Roberts and Rhea Galanaki. In this the second issue, we invite you to discover the work of László Márton of Hungary, Christopher Meredith of Wales, and Sotie Triantafillou of Greece.
The historical novel today offers many writers a forum. Whereas the history of ideas was once concerned with abstractions and absolutes, the current wave of historical novels reflects an appreciation of the fact that history needs to be re-examined.
In re-examining history László Márton, Christopher Meredith and Sotie Triantafillou awake voices from the recent past in central and Eastern Europe, and from medieval Wales.
