“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.”

"... 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."
