This book examines Shakespeare's response in his late plays to the challenge of making romance stories believable through theatrical representation and the kind of experience the late plays in performance seek to create for their spectators. Taking The Winter's Tale as a case study, the book's central chapters demonstrate how Shakespeare tests and transforms the techniques to create the sweeping, restorative transformations of individuals and communities that are central to both earlier dramatic romances and Shakespeare's own romance experiments. The book's three other chapters address the methodologies for study of spectator's experience through a dramatic text, the history of dramatic romance to 1610, and Shakespeare's further experiments with the staging of romance after The Winter's Tale.-

They left me for dead. Now I’m pretty sure I’d have been better off… I used to be the princess of Blackmoor. Rich, beautiful, engaged to be married to the heir. Dean Blackmoor was supposed to win the game, accept my hand in marriage, and rule this town with me. I was supposed to be the closest thing there is to a queen these days. Pampered. Adored. Untouchable. Instead Dean picked his pet over me. Threw me out and left me for dead. But I don’t remember any of that. Now, someone else says he’s had his eye on me. He says he’s been watching me. Following me. Wanting me. He says his name is Gabriel Martinez, but he’s no angel. He’s the lowest of the low, a man that the princess of Blackmoor would never have looked at, let alone touched. He’s a savage, a killer. And my stalker. He says he’s not going to let me go. And if I try to run away? He says he’ll hunt me down until I’m his again. Hunting Winter is the first in the Blackmoor Revenge trilogy, featuring Winter and Gabriel. This is a dark romance, and sensitive readers should be aware that there are no heroes or heroines in this story.

Popular romance was one of the most wide-spread forms of literature in the Middle Ages, yet despite its cultural centrality, and its fundamental importance for later literary developments, the genre has defied precise definition, its subject matter ranging from tales of chivalric adventure, to saintly women, and monsters that become human. The essays in this collection provide contexts, definitions, and explanations for the genre, particularly in 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.
