Synopsis
Excerpt from The Springs of Romance in the Literature of Europe: An Address Delivered to the Students of the University of Edinburgh, October 1910
It was not easy to choose a theme for an address to Edinburgh University. Your unbounded belief in Rectorial discretion permits a latitude that is almost embarrassing. For guidance I had nothing but a sense of my own limitations and a prospect of the scene that confronts me. These suggested a search over the vast province of learning for some plot, not wholly unexplored by your Rector, that should also be linked with the fame of your ancient city. The world allows, and Scott's monument attests, that, from Edinburgh, and by his genius.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the appearance of Western European romance in literature. Exploring its themes and motifs, the author suggests that romance originated as an intersection of western Celtic stories, eastern Arabic narratives, and the influence of the major events and personalities of the period from 1050-1200. The author posits that the strange and unfamiliar legends and tales of these cultures were welcomed and popularized rather than dismissed, creating a vibrant and unique literary phenomenon. This book suggests that romance is a genre characterized by its inclusive and comprehending nature, and by its embrace of the fantastic, the strange, and the mysterious.
