4.0 out of 5 stars
Adult historical fiction, under-rated author.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dark Island (Hardcover)
All Henry Treece's adult works bring history to life with three-dimensional, essentially flawed characters, who evolve (for better or worse) throughout his books. His work can be sensuous, but never pornographic. His heros are not picaresque, but tend to be the subjects, rather than instigators or controllers of events.Of particular note are his works based upon Ancient Greece (Jason, Oedipus Rex and, to a lesser degree, Electra). The Dark Island deals with the advent of the Romans to Celtic Britain. Another work of note (The Golden Strangers) concerns the Celts and Iberians in Britain. 'The Great Captains' is an original, and convincing recreation of Arthurian Britain, light years from the romanticised versions.
