CHAPTER II Plot, Character (humor), Sett1ng; StrucTure, Style The Greek Romances, evidently, have for their material the staples of the world's fiction--love and adventure, more or less interwoven; and it is upon this generic similarity in matter that their specific differences in treatment are thrown into relief. For the present purpose, which is rather to characterize critically the Greek Romance than to appreciate separately the Greek Romances, it will suffice to draw attention to some of the differences without dwelling on them. The comparison will serve the descriptive purpose in view, and will at the same time serve to modify, as far as may be needful, the generalizations put forward in the introductory sketch. In their plots, Heliodorus, Longus, and Achilles Tatius all employ, as has been observed, some agency other than natural causation and human character. Heliodorus distributes the extra-human action in his main plot almost equally between Fortune and Providence--the latter, perhaps, slightly predominating. The exposure of Chariclea, which, both chronologically and causally, begins the story, is by common consent regarded as an avowed surrender to Fortune (II. xxxi; IV. viii). But immediately Providence sends the good gymnosophist to the rescue--a rescue the providential nature of which is to be inferred indirectly., though clearly enough, from the hieratic estate of Sisimithres, and directly from the assertion of Calasiris (II. xxiii): "The Goddes have made them my children by chaunce" (U 63), which by its confrontation of "The Goddes" with "chaunce," puts the matter beyond doubt. It is the gods, then, that have controlled, through Fortune as their instrument, the whole of that triple chain of seeming coincidences which...

Download or read book Shakespeare and the Greek Romance written by Carol Gesner and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first study to relate the Greek romances to Elizabethan drama. It focuses upon the Greek romance materials in Shakespeare's plays to clarify the background of his art and to illuminate the relationship between the two literatures. The Greek romance tradition is described historically and traced through the works of Boccaccio and Cervantes, as well as other continental and English writers. Then, full attention is given to those plays of Shakespeare which utilize the Greek materials. The notes are full and, with the aid of the extensive index, can serve as a manual of the Greek romance materials in Renaissance literature. A bibliographic appendix lists the known editions, translations, and adaptations of Greek romances from about 1470 to about 1642. The manuscript history is reviewed briefly. Thorough, careful, the book will be indispensable for concerned scholars and libraries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steve Mentz provides a comprehensive historicist and formalist account of prose romance, the most important genre of Elizabethan fiction. He explores how authors and publishers of prose fiction in late sixteenth-century England produced books that combined traditional narrative forms with a dynamic new understanding of the relationship between text and audience. Though prose fiction would not dominate English literary culture until the eighteenth century, Mentz demonstrates that the form began to invent itself as a distinct literary kind in England nearly two centuries earlier.

Download or read book The Form of Greek Romance written by B. P. Reardon and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early Roman Empire a new literary genre began to flourish, mainly in the Greek world: prose fiction, or romance. Broadly defined as a love story that offers adventure and a romantic vision of life, this form of literature emerged long after the other genres and, until recently, seemed hardly worthy of critical attention. Here B. P. Reardon addresses the growing interest in ancient fiction by providing a literary and cultural framework in which to understand Greek romance, and by demonstrating its importance as an artistic and social phenomenon. Beginning with a discussion of Chariton's Chaereas and Callirhoe, Reardon sets out the generic characteristics of the romance. He then moves through a wide range of works, including those of Longus and Heliodorus, and reveals their sophistication in terms of social observation, technique within a convention, and the stance adopted by the authors toward their own creations. Although antiquity left behind little discussion of the genre, Reardon shows how romance can be assessed within its time period by considering the practice of narrative in other Greek literature and the concept of fiction in antiquity.

Download or read book Staging Early Modern Romance written by Mary Ellen Lamb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-01-13 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection recovers the continuities between three forms of romance that have often been separated from one another in critical discourse: early modern prose fiction, the dramatic romances staged in England during the 1570s and 1580s, and Shakespeare’s late plays. Although Pericles, Cymbeline, Winter’s Tale, and The Tempest have long been characterized as "romances," their connections with the popular prose romances of their day and the dramatic romances that preceded them have frequently been overlooked. Constructed to explore those connections, this volume includes original essays that relate at least one prose or dramatic romance to an English play written from 1570 to 1630. The introduction explores the use of the term "dramatic romance" over several centuries and the commercial association between print culture, gender, and drama. Eight essays discuss Shakespeare’s plays; three more examine plays by Beaumont, Fletcher, and Massinger. Other authors treated at some length include Boccaccio, Christine de Pizan, Chaucer, Sidney, Greene, Lodge, and Wroth. Barbara Mowat’s afterword considers Shakespeare’s use of Greek romance. Written by foremost scholars of Shakespeare and early modern prose fiction, this book explores the vital cross-currents that occurred between narrative and dramatic forms of Greek, medieval, and early modern romance.
