Recenzii

"Always incomparable, Judith Wilt has never been better. This revisionist genre study not of heroes or heroines exactly, but of hero-worship in a certain strain of romance fiction, is learned, scrupulous, wide-ranging, witty, confident, and captivating, full of more ideas per chapter than in many whole books, inhabiting the novels at issue from the inside out with a tenacious charm of exposition that renders a potentially controversial argument as disarming as it is startling." Garrett Stewart, James O. Freedman Professor of Letters, University of Iowa, USA
"[A] provocative monograph.... engaging" M. E. Burstein, CHOICE
