By exposing the theory of romance to the romance of theory, Diane
Elam explores literature's most uncertain, least easily definable
and most tenacious genre, assessing its implications for both
feminism and the understanding of history. Arguing for a parallel
between postmodernism's divided relation to modernism and romance's
difficult stance towards realism, Romancing the Postmodern, first
published in 1992, not only highlights how postmodernism questions
our assumptions about historical time, it also reintroduces the
figure of woman to the theory of both history and literature.
