It challenges long-held opinions about canonical writers such as John Milton and brings into the conversation lesser-known pamphlets and the voices of early modern women writers. The book stresses the power of romance to nourish identity—whether personal, religious, Royalist, or Puritan—and to foster heroic narratives amongst newly elect communities despite national crisis, division, disappointment, suffering, and wandering.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Tiffany Jo Werth,author of \u003ci\u003eThe Fabulous Dark Cloister: Romance in England After the Reformation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Getting Romance Right\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
