"European Erotic Romance" examines the Renaissance publication
and translation of the ancient Greek erotic romances, and English
adaptations of the genre by Sir Philip Sidney, Shakespeare and Lady
Mary Sidney Wroth.
Providing fresh insight into the development of the novel, this
study identifies the politicization of erotic romance by the
European philhellene (lovers of all things Greek) Protestant
movement. To English translators and authors, the complex plots,
well developed moralized characters (particularly female) and
rhetorical styles of the ancient novels signify political and
social reform.
Generous quotation and translations ensure that "European Erotic
Romance" is accessible to a broad spectrum of readers. Its
organisation lends itself to use as a course text. It is suitable
for use by senior undergraduates and specialists in Renaissance
literature, translation, rhetoric and history.
