Excellent guide to historical people in fiction!
Most libraries collect historical novels, which are read in enormous numbers by library patrons. Unfortunately, traditional cataloging practice and existing reference sources make subject access to most of this material difficult at best. Hartman and Sapp have taken a giant step toward solving this problem, at least as far as historical figures are concerned. Their book lists 4200 English-language novels published after 1940 in which 1500 historical figures appear as major characters. The body of the book is arranged alphabetically by the name of the historical figure, from Lucille Ball, David Berkowitz, King Arthur, and Moses to Sal Mineo, Sacagewea, and Bruce Springsteen. Each name entry includes the person's dates and a brief biographical description, then lists the novels in which that person is a character. Citations for the novels give author, title, publisher, date, notes about the reading level, awards won, and as many as six reviews. There are intelligent cross references in the body of the bibliography and good indexes by author, title, and occupation. While no work of this kind can be exhaustive, this reference contains a wonderfully comprehensive mixture of historical personages. Highly Recommended.
