Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eochaid the Heremhon: Or the Romance of the Lia Phail The historical romance claims a place in literature which is not often recognised by the mere reader of fiction. As in the case of the ordinary novel, if good, it must have an interesting plot, and must manifest an insight into character, and the power of defining clearly localities and scenes; but beyond this it endeavours to popularise true conceptions of historic facts, and of the varying motives that led up to them. There have been historians whose inaccuracy has made them novelists. There have been novelists whose accuracy has made them historians, and this without diminishing from their histrionic power. In the great drama of national life, and the history of the ages, one of the most extraordinary possibilities that imagination could invent, has been made the subject of prediction, and of inspired prediction. It is this which makes it possible, and at the same time fitting, to unite in an historical novel, the element of religious thought. The object of the author has been to popularise this most important part of the mystery of the world´s history. He has entered upon a domain which has hitherto been untrodden. The reader of light fiction will here be transported into exciting scenes. The more thoughtful reader will find underneath the story the basis of fact.
