ABOUT BOOK

Always rewriting and always rewritten, romance also opens onto new ways ~of seeing. Romance retains its power in part because, in its engagement ~with thinking, feeling, and being in the world, it continues to allow readers ~to re-vision themselves. Medieval depictions of the continuum of mind and ~body, the role of affect in cognition, and the physical effects of love, loss, ~and trauma can have powerful resonances for modern readers.
