History/Lit connections

[Joan Tweedie <jtweedie@smus.bc.ca>]

Dear English, History and Humanities Experts!

I am part of a team designing a new Humanities course for our Grade
9's.

I am looking for literature connections in the form of plays, short
stories, novels which might relate to key events in European and
North American history between 1450 and 1815: The Reformation,
Renaissance, Scientific Revolution, Enlightenment, American
Revolution, French Revolution, Industrial Revolution.

If anyone has any bright ideas as to what would be most suitable to
Grade 9 readers; the teachers are particularly looking for Canadian
authors with female protagonists but any other ideas would be
welcome.

There might even be a good reference out there which has such
connections.

Thank you LM-NETTERS.

Joan
