On the Cover
This month, Perspectives is talking all things historical fiction. In Townhouse Notes, Laura Ansley argues that historical romance novels are an important way history reaches the public. Alix E. Harrow, Suzanne Marie Litrel, and Laury Silvers describe their own forays into writing historical fiction across genres. Jeffrey Wasserstrom offers many ways to use fiction in history classes. Gillian Frank dives into midcentury pulp novels. And we publish the first piece of fiction in Perspectives' nearly 60-year history by public historian Priya Chhaya. As the original cover art by Anne Lambelet encourages, we hope you find much to imagine in these stories rooted in history.
