Abstract
High school teachers of World History have an opportunity to enrich their students' learning by suggesting or requiring the reading of historical fiction appropriate to their courses. Much of the world's literature may be classified as historical fiction, having value for the student of history as well as for the student of literature. Historical fiction may be used as an extension of the regular textbook, to enlarge the individual student's understandings of historical characters, events, and time periods which may receive scant treatment in the regular textbook. For many students, a fictional account of the past may be more palatable, and, in its own manner, as valuable as the traditional approach to history. The greatest asset of the better historical fiction seems to be that it can illustrate the feelings and emotions of people in different periods of history toward the events taking place about them. Of course, this applies to the work of only the better writers, many of whom have themselves been outstanding historians.
