The essays in this collection seek to provide an inclusive and thorough examination of romance. They provide contexts, definitions, and explanations for the genre, particularly in, but not limited to, an English context. Topics covered include genre and literary classification; race and ethnicity; gender; orality and performance; the romance and young readers; metre and form; printing culture; and reception. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e CONTRIBUTORS: ROSALIND FIELD, RALUCA L.
