Claudia and Pudens; Or the Early Christians of Gloucester: A Tale of the First Century (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Claudia and Pudens; Or the Early Christians of Gloucester: A Tale of the First Century

It is not surprising that works of historical fiction should possess an attraction beyond that of almost any other kind of narrative; because, if written with a certain degree of attention to chronology, and the manners and customs of the age which they are supposed to represent, they seem to bring the reader, as it were, actually into contact with the places and persons therein described, and to bring them personally to an acquaintance with characters, manners, and scenes which dry history, or a bare recital of facts, almost invariably fails to accomplish.
