Rezension

"Acknowledging the difficulty of defining "romance," Saunders and the contributors collectively produce a volume that offers a more comprehensive survey of the literature--including its historical, national, and generic varieties--than have previous standard works on the subject...Some of the essays--e.g., Helen Cooper s "Malory and the Early Prose Romances" and Richard Cronin s "Victorian Romance: Medievalism"--are exemplary in the quality of their writing, scholarship, and critical perception...Highly recommended."
Choice

"... It would be worth acquiring for an academic humanities collection and, from my own experience, would be particulary useful for English literature students at undergraduate and postgraduate level."
