Download Free Historical Fiction PDF ByThomas Brown,Alaska Pacific University Total Download 10 I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book. Synopsis Historical fiction is an effective yet underutilized method of teaching history and I wanted to demonstrate how it can be used in the classroom. By writing a full-length, heavily researched historical fiction novel I explored the techniques of writing fiction, the differences and similarities between researching historical fiction and a textbook, and how these features can be exploited by educators as well as easily learned by the public at large. My novel, An Honest Man, explored medieval Spanish Muslim culture and philosophy, classical Greek philosophy, vellum production, and a myriad of other historical trends and events. It is also funny, entertaining and on sale soon.
