Right Romance by Emily Griffiths Jones
A study of romance, religion, and politics in seventeenth-century England, presenting a recontextualized understanding of romance as a multi-generic narrative structure or strategy rather than a prose genre.“Right Romance will change how critics understand seventeenth-century English romance and its political investmentsIt challenges long-held opinions about canonical writers such as John Milton and brings into the conversation lesser-known pamphlets and the voices of early modern women writers. The book stresses the power of romance to nourish identity—whether personal, religious, Royalist, or Puritan—and to foster heroic narratives amongst newly elect communities despite national crisis, division, disappointment, suffering, and wandering.”
—Tiffany Jo Werth, author of The Fabulous Dark Cloister: Romance in England After the Reformation
