The Black Prince
A Historical Fiction Novel by Adam Roberts & Anthony Burgess
Subgenres:
- Medieval England,
- War Fiction,
- Court Intrigue
This book is for you if you're into...
- Historical fiction that revels in the grime and grit of medieval England
- Medieval warfare told through sensory detail and visceral atmosphere
- Court intrigue and betrayals with a sharp, unsentimental edge
I'm working on a novel intended to express the feel of England in Edward III's time ... The fourteenth century of my novel will be mainly evoked in terms of smell and visceral feelings, and it will carry an undertone of general disgust rather than hey-nonny nostalgia.
The Black Prince is a brutal historical tale of chivalry, religious belief, obsession, siege and bloody warfare.
From disorientating depictions of medieval battles to court intrigues and betrayals, the campaigns of Edward, the Black Prince, are brought to vivid life.
This rambunctious book, based on a completed screenplay by Anthony Burgess, showcases Adam Roberts in complete control of the novel as a way of making us look at history with fresh eyes, all while staying true to the linguistic pyrotechnics and narrative verve of Burgess's best work.
