"A great new resource... Indispensable for historians and history lovers alike." Saul David
Aspects of History is the new magazine and website dedicated to history and historical fiction.
We believe that history should be a source of argument and entertainment. Different voices have different stories to tell.
Each issue contains articles, interviews, short stories and book reviews by established and emerging writers.
The past isn't dead, it's not even past. History relates and resonates.
At the same time, the past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.
