The English Romance In Time : Transforming Motifs From Geoffrey Of Monmouth To The Death Of Shakespeare

Attribution
Helen Cooper

Pulp Fictions Of Medieval England : Essays In Popular Romance

Attribution
edited by Nicola McDonald
Publication Details
Book, Manchester University Press, 2004

Pulp fictions of medieval England comprises ten essays on individual popular romances; However, the essays do not support a single, homogenous reading of popular romance: the authors work with assumptions and come to conclusions about issues as fundamental as the genre’s aesthetic codes, its political and cultural ideologies, and its historical consciousness that are different and sometimes opposed.

Empire Of Magic : Medieval Romance And The Politics Of Cultural Fantasy

Attribution
Geraldine Heng
Publication Details
Book, Columbia University Press, 2003
Description
Empire of Magic offers a genesis and genealogy for medieval romance and the King Arthur legend through the history of Europe’s encounters with the East in crusades, travel, missionizing, and empire formation. After locating the rise of romance and Arthurian legend in the contact zones of East and West, Heng demonstrates the adaptability of romance and its key role in the genesis of an English national identity. Empire of Magic is expansive in scope, spanning the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries, and detailed in coverage, examining various types of romance — historical, national, popular, chivalric, family, and travel romances, among others — to see how cultural fantasy responds to changing crises, pressures, and demands in a number of different ways.
