Vintage. I think anyone born before 1960 is considered vintage, like a really nice wine.

Brideshead Revisited (#176) was published in 1945, so it's not exactly an historical novel... Same goes for The Picture of Dorian Gray (#209) which was first published in 1890.

This list has become a weird mix. I don't think publication date should define if it belongs in the historical romance, but the context of the romance story.

All the KJ Charles stories listed are fantasy (except Think of England and the Society of Gentlemen series(e.g., A Fashionable Indulgence)), as are all the Jordan Hawk books. Can these be cleared out?

This list would be helped very much by some boundaries to the definition of historical romance...a lot of romances set in historical times (earlier than 1900 ) are not usually very clear about what era or year they are set in, though (e.g., Regency, Victorian, etc.), so I wouldn't be too bounded!

To address this, the opening list-defining paragraph could be expanded to say that the list is looking for "mm romance stories set in historical contexts . Magical, fantasy and paranormal stories, even if they have an historical feel, should not be included here."

Listopia lists are defined by the creator of the list and generally edited by the creator, so unless the creator comes back and re-defines the list, it won't change.

A list like you have described would be useful. Perhaps you could consider starting one?

We can adjust the list if it is not correct - librarian's have editing privileges - however w/o the originator defining the specifics I personally don't usually edit. Because I do not know the intention.

I removed Last Call which is most definitely not historical. Not sure why it was on here.

There is a difference between 'historical' novels/romance and just 'old' novels/romance... At least there is in my book.

From the books on this list that I've read, a huge number are not historical, but are fantasy, sf, paranormal, or set in other universes.
I don't even know if I can list them all, there are so many.
Starting with the first few:
Numbers 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 14, 18, 30, 36, 44, 74, 77, 90, 96, 103, 105, 121, 134, 183, 190, 195, 214, 225, 251, 272, 283, 284, 302, 317, 334, 336, 366, 372, 292, 295, 414, 452, 503, 517... and it goes on and on.
All the books by Jordan Hawk are fantasy. Some books by KJ Charles. There are several time travel books on this list that obviously don't belong there. The Captive Prince books and some books by Megan Derr are fantasy. And those are just the books I've read. Some look like fantasy, just by their covers.
This list needs a total overhaul to come anywhere close to accurate.

While I appreciate the existence of lists like this, it's unfortunate that there's zero quality control in place. This list pops up as being 'the best' compilation of gay historical romance but I feel it doesn't come close to earning that title. Many books aren't historical romance - I saw classics, historical fiction, gay historical fiction, fantasy, alternate reality etc. I also noticed there are a lot of books from the early period of MM romance publishing (2009-2012), which produced some winners but only represents a tiny slice of what the MM historical romance genre has turned into.
