secures the fillet that bound her hair before she was executed -- a talisman

is strong, and rural life in the times just after Waterloo is rendered
with truth and good humour. More than a glimpse is had of the unrest with
which England was seething, and the abortive conspiracies of the “Spenceans”
and the Spa Fields Riot come into the story. 1816. [Comments from Ernest

Stevenson, Robert Louis (1850-1894)
St.
Ives: being the adventures of a French prisoner in England (1897) [Project Gutenberg ed.]
(completed by Quiller-Couch) A posthumous romance, finished by “Q.” Stevenson
calls it “A mere tissue of adventures.” It is an essay in picaresque fiction,
reciting the experiences of a French prisoner of war in Edinburgh Castle,
and his adventures after escaping. St. Ives is the only gentleman
among the prisoners, and suffers much in his dignity; the escape is an
exciting incident, and his love-affair very romantic. 1813-1814. [Comments
from Ernest A. Baker's A Guide to Historical Fiction (London, 1914)]

Sudermann, Hermann
Regina; or, The Sins of the Fathers (translated
from Der Katzensteg, 1889) (1898) A tragedy of hate and love. Scene,
a Prussian village in 1814-15. The legacy of guilt and retribution is bequeathed
to his son by a nobleman who turned traitor after Jena. This son, overwhelmed
with the burden of shame, and Regina, a peasant girl, the victim of his
father’s profligacy, are the protagonists, between whom springs up a love,
