What happened to the medieval romance genre during and after the
Protestant Reformation in England? Who read these works; who
printed them; and what did they mean to the varied audiences
encountering them? Through a cross-temporal study using book
history, reception history and cultural memory studies, this book
argues that the medieval romances printed across the early modern
period provided a flexible space for post-Reformation readers to
negotiate their relationships with the recent 'medieval' past, a
past that was becoming, for some, increasingly distanced from the
present. In exploring the complex entanglements of time and
technology that accrue on the pages of the post-Reformation romance
book, Difficult Pasts offers an interdisciplinary framework for
better understanding the role of physical books and imaginative
forms in grappling with a 'difficult' past. -- .
