	Off the top o'me head:

	recent: David Mitchell's "Cloud Atlas" is built of several difft
historical & generic styles; Andrew Miller's "Ingenious Pain" (18th
ce)---both are extremely engaging & good. IYI: Russell Hoban's "Ridley
Walker" invents a strange futurist/medeival idiom to fit its
postapocalyptic world: interesting in the way mutations in period styles
are interesting
