Seventeenth-Century English Romance: Allegory, Ethics, and Politics

By Amelia A. Zurcher

Book Overview

Overturning the common characterization of Seventeenth Century English prose romance as an exhausted, imitative genre with little bearing on the evolution of the novel, this book argues that early modern romance was a central forum for exploring the newly pressing moral-philosophical and political problem of self-interest.
