The term paper could be about any of the following historical novels:
Walter Scott, Ivanhoe
Bulwer-Lytton, The Last Days of Pompeii
Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
Charles Kingsley, Westward Ho!
Thackeray, Henry Esmond
Elizabeth Gaskell, Sylvia’s Lovers
George Eliot, Romola
R.L. Stevenson, Treasure Island
Thomas Haedy, The Trumpet Major
It could be about any related topic.But it has to connect the literature of the novel to social and political events of the Victorian period. It can also be a comparison or a term paper linking two of the above. I don’t recommend writing about Gaskell’s Sylvia’s Lovers unless it is part of a comparative study between two of the above novels .
Let me know once you decide on a topic to approve it or not before starting with the pape
