About the Author:
Review:
Judith Wilt is the Newton College Alumni Chair Emerita at Boston College, USA. She has written books on George Meredith, Walter Scott, and Mary Arnold Ward, as well as the theme studies Ghosts of the Gothic, and Abortion, Choice, and Contemporary Fiction.
"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
