{"product_id":"romance-rewritten-elizabeth-archibald-9781843845096","title":"Romance Rewritten: The Evolution of Middle English Romance. a Tribute to Helen Cooper","description":"New approaches to the everlasting malleability and transformation of medieval romance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essays here reconsider the protean nature of Middle English romance. The contributors examine both the cultural unity of romance and its many variations, reiterations and reimaginings, including its contexts and engagements with other discourses and forms, as they were \"rewritten\" during the Middle Ages and beyond. Ranging across popular, anonymous English and courtly romances, and taking in the works of Chaucer and Arthurian romance (rarely treated together), in connection with continental sources and analogues, the chapters probe this fluid and creative genre to ask just how comfortable, and how flexible, are its nature and aims? How were Middle English romances rewritten toaccommodate contemporary concerns and generic expectations? What can attention to narrative techniques and conventional gestures reveal about the reassurances romances offer, or the questions they ask? How do romances' central concerns with secular ideals and conduct intersect with spiritual priorities? And how are romances transformed or received in later periods? The volume is also a tribute to the significance and influence of the work of Professor Helen Cooper on romance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Elizabeth Archibald is Professor of English Studies at Durham University; Megan G.
