Biographies
Bloom wrote a number of books chronicling the lives of famous people, as well as biographies of her older relatives. Some of her biographical works are in fact novelisations based on real life events. Of the latter, I have listed here those fictionalised accounts that concern well-known figures from the late Victorian era and Twentieth Century. Bloom's historical novels, which are mainly set in the Tudor, Regency and early Victorian periods and were mostly written under the pseudonym Lozania Prole, could be said to fall under the biographical category. However, I have elected to list these titles on the novels page.
