The curious paradox of romance is that throughout its history this genre has been dismissed as trivial and unintellectual yet people have never ceased to flock to it with enthusiasm and even fervor In contemporary contexts we devour popular romance and fantasy novels like The Lord of the Rings Harry Potter and Game of Thrones reference them in conversations and create online communities to expound passionately and intelligently upon their characters and worlds But romance is unrealistic critics say doing readers a disservice by not accurately representing human experiences It is considered by some to be a distraction from real literature a distraction from real life and little more Yet is it possible that romance is expressing a truthand a truth unrecognized by realist genres The Arthurian literature of the Middle Ages Karen Sullivan argues consistently ventriloquizes in its pages the criticisms that were being made of romance at the time and implicitly defends itself against those criticisms The Danger of Romance shows that the conviction that ordinary reality is the only reality is itself an assumption and one that can blind those who hold it to the extraordinary phenomena that exist around them It demonstrates that that which is rare ephemeral and inexplicable is no less real than that which is commonplace longlasting and easily accounted for If romance continues to appeal to audiences today whether in its Arthurian prototype or in its more recent incarnations it is because it confirms the perceptionor even the hopeof a beauty and truth in the world that realist genres deny

In Trade and Romance Michael Murrin examines the complex relations between the expansion of trade in Asia and the production of heroic romance in Europe from the second half of the thirteenth century through the late seventeenth century He shows how these tales of romance ostensibly meant for the aristocracy were important to the growing mercantile class as a way to gauge their own experiences in traveling to and trading in these exotic locales Murrin also looks at the role that growing knowledge of geography played in the writing of the creative literature of the period tracking how accurate or inaccurate these writers were in depicting farflung destinations from Iran and the Caspian Sea all the way to the PacificnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspWith reference to an impressive range of major works in several languagesincluding the works of Marco Polo Geoffrey Chaucer Matteo Maria Boiardo Luís de Camões Fernão Mendes Pinto Edmund Spenser John Milton and moreMurrin tracks numerous accounts by traders and merchants through the literature first on the Silk Road beginning in the midthirteenth century then on the water route to India Japan and China via the Cape of Good Hope and finally the overland route through Siberia to Beijing All of these routes originally used to exchange commodities quickly became paths to knowledge as well enabling information to pass if sometimes vaguely and intermittently between Europe and the Far East These new tales of distant shores fired the imagination of Europe and made their way with surprising accuracy as Murrin shows into the poetry of the period
