Category talk:Writers of historical fiction set in the modern age

Time Period?
The Wikipedia entry for "The Early Modern Period" has this definition: "The early modern period of modern history follows the late Middle Ages of the post-classical era. Although the chronological limits of the period are open to debate, the timeframe spans the period after the late portion of the post-classical age (c. 1500), known as the Middle Ages, through the beginning of the Age of Revolutions (c. 1800) and is variously demarcated by historians as beginning with the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, with the Renaissance period, and with the Age of Discovery (especially with the voyages of Christopher Columbus beginning in 1492, but also with Vasco da Gama's discovery of the sea route to the East in 1498), and ending around the French Revolution in 1789."

So basically, this means any novel set after the French Revolution would fall into the "Modern Age" category. An example would be Summer Will Show by Sylvia Townsend Warner, which is set during the 1848 revolutions- it would be a "historical fiction set in the Modern Age". 188.141.25.160 (talk) 19:43, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
