The island of Nantucket goes back to the Bronze Age. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_in_the_Sea_of_Time

Yes, Stirling's Nantucket series is a good example. Loosely also his Emberverse (basically the flip side of the Nantucket series) although I lost interest as I often do with long-running series. Lucifer's Hammer by Niven and Pournelle. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is probably the classic of the genre (Mark Twain).

Most of these books are probably overly optimistic about what one or a small group of smart people who just happen to have to right skill sets could accomplish in such a situation with very limited supply chains.
