Classic Historical Fiction

The guillotine falling on the rue Saint-Antoine, Ivanhoe in the lists at Ashby, Ben-Hur's chariots tearing across Antioch, the Scarlet Pimpernel slipping aristocrats out of Paris. Historical fiction from the era that invented the form — click-to-explain on every period term, character avatars to keep whole dynasties straight, and chapter music that moves with the battle.
