I think the main draw is being immersed in a period, though I do also enjoy some of the narrative style techniques which have gone out of fashion since the 1960s. I also enjoy historical novels (written now but set in the past) but I find it particularly appealing to understand how the author thought about their own time, rather than how a modern author imagines the past.Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572976822786862149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-34649101090232995752017-04-12T16:26:15.629-04:002017-04-12T16:26:15.629-04:00Interesting how one's tastes can change.
