Right Romance argues for a recontextualized understanding of romance as a multigeneric narrative structure or strategy rather than a prose genre and rejects the common assumption that romance was a short-lived mode most commonly associated with royalist politics. Puritan republicans likewise found in romance strength, solace, and grounds for political resistance. Two key works that profoundly influenced seventeenth-century approaches to romance are Philip Sidney's New Arcadia and Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, which grappled with romance's civic potential and its limits for a newly Protestant state. Jones examines how these works influenced writings by royalists and republicans during and after the English Civil War. Remaining chapters pair writers from both sides of the war in order to illuminate the ongoing ideological struggles over romance. John Milton is analyzed alongside Margaret Cavendish and Percy Herbert, and Lucy Hutchinson alongside John Dryden. In the final chapter, Jones studies texts by John Bunyan and Aphra Behn that are known for their resistance to generic categorization in an attempt to rethink romance's relationship to election, community, gender, and generic form. Original and persuasive, Right Romance advances theoretical discussion about romance, pushing beyond the limits of the genre to discover its impact on constructions of national, communal, and personal identity--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Romanticism $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a English literature $y 17th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a National characteristics, English, in literature. 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a National characteristics, English, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033416 650 7 $a Romanticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01100133 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 648 7 $a 1600-1699 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Cultural inquiries in English literature, 1400-1700. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317030418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C96705B0807011EABE26D64B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
