"Ancient Rome in the English Novel: A Study in English Historical Fiction" by Randolph Faries is a study examining how English historical novels use ancient Rome as a setting. The author wants to clarify what makes a novel a "classic" by looking at how well these books show Roman life and themes. The study looks back to the start of these kinds of stories, points out how pre-Imperial Rome is less common than Imperial Rome, and talks about what makes them special, looking at how writers mixed history and storytelling.
