Media Reviews
With its variously sophisticated and insightful analyses [this collection] makes a worthy and welcome contribution. * REVIEW OF ENGLISH STUDIES *
There is not a single weak link in this excellent collection. All contributions share an interest in romance, generic transformation, and rewriting more broadly, while displaying a rich diversity of approaches and preoccupations. Romance Rewritten is easy to recommend not only to scholars of romance, but to students of Chaucer, Gower, Malory, sixteenth-century printing, or nineteenth-century medievalism as well. * STUDIES IN THE AGE OF CHAUCER *
This edited collection is a well-rounded contribution to the field of medieval literary studies and offers some interesting finds and analyses of works that have been upheld as the best of medieval literature. * PARERGON *
This consistently engaging collection is a fitting and deserved tribute to Helen Cooper, confirming the importance and sustained influence of her work. It offers a variety of detailed analyses that will surely be essential reading for specialists, while still remaining accessible to students. * ANGLIA *
These scholars, who share with Helen Cooper an unflagging interest in the genre, have produced an outstanding volume of essays, each of which probes facets of its protean and, it must be stressed, inexhaustible nature. * ARCHIV *
The thirteen essays in this volume are testament to the range and depth of her [Helen Cooper's] contributions to the field. Collectively, the chapters highlight the multifarious connections between romances, the "family resemblances" that link texts, and the sociopolitical forces that interact with romance impulses to form innovative narratives and critical commentaries on their historical moment, all the while confronting readers with the nebulousness of the very definition of romance. * Speculum *
