Four Essays on Romance

In his Introduction, Herschel Baker writes, "Although Romance, the dominant genre of secular literature throughout the later Middle Ages, has prompted floods of scholarship and speculation, it still bristles with unanswered problems of origin, development, and even definition."

Helaine Newstead contributes "Malory and Romance"; A. Bartlett Giamatti, "Spenser: From Magic to Miracle"; Norman Rabkin, "The Holy Sinner and the Confidence Man: Illusion in Shakespeare's Romances"; and Barbara K. Lewalski, "Milton: Revaluations of Romance."
