Description

Medieval romances can be characterised by their formulaic motifs, predictable plots, and "stock" character types. This book offers a fresh perspective on these conventions, arguing that authors used them, and the expectations they generate, to craft complex and often contradictory inner lives. Through new readings of texts such as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Malory's Le Morte Darthur, it demonstrates the contribution made by romance to the growing significance of the individual in fiction after the twelfth century.
