Description
This scholarly study explores how early modern English prose fiction emerged as a distinct literary form, driven by professional writers creating printed books for anonymous readers. Steve Mentz traces the narrative innovations that shaped romance during this transformative period, examining how the rediscovery of Heliodorus's Aethiopian History from late classical North Africa influenced literary development alongside the rise of print culture and the expanding book market. The work provides a comprehensive historicist and formalist analysis of prose romance, demonstrating how technological change, cultural shifts, and classical influences converged to establish new literary conventions that defined an era.
