Question

Which text is valuable for gaining context about a historical event but is unreliable as "evidence"?

Answer 1

If these are your answer choices
A. anthology
B. encyclopedia
C. historical novel
D. monograph
E. textbook


Then it would most definitely be historical novel being that the novels could be fictional.

"The work may deal with actual historical personages, as does Robert Graves’s I, Claudius (1934), or it may contain a mixture of fictional and historical characters."
