This close connection between the medieval and the romance has had consequences for popular conceptions of the Middle Ages, an idealized fantasy of chivalry and hierarchy, and also for our understanding of romances, as always already archaic, part of a half-forgotten past. And yet, romances were one of the most influential and long-lasting innovations of the medieval period. To emphasize their novelty is to see the resources medieval people had for thinking about their contemporary concern and controversies, whether social order, Jewish/ Christian relations, the Crusades, the connectivity of the Mediterranean, women's roles as mothers, and how to write a national past. This volume takes up the challenge to 'think romance', investigating the various ways that romances imagine, reflect, and describe the challenges of the medieval world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 2 $a Does romance think? -- Romance thinks politics -- Romance thinks religion -- Romance thinks music -- Rethinking the term 'romance'. 650 0 $a Romances. 650 0 $a Civilization, Medieval, in literature. 650 0 $a Civilization, Medieval. 650 7 $a Civilization, Medieval. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00863049 650 7 $a Civilization, Medieval, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00863071 650 7 $a Romances. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01099892 700 1 $a Little, Katherine C., $d 1969- $e editor. 700 1 $a McDonald, Nicola, $e editor. 776 08 $i Electronic version: $t Thinking medieval romance. $b First edition. $d Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2018 $z 9780192514356 $w (OCoLC)1056711219 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191116015026.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9278E020462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
