title = "Non-cyclic romances of love",
abstract = "This chapter looks at a selection of romances that do not belong to one of the traditional {\textquoteleft}matters{\textquoteright}, but which are instead united by a genre-signalling focus on passionate love. It investigates how this is reconciled with romance{\textquoteright}s broader concerns with social order and the kinds of personal bonds which either reinforce or threaten it, considering love that is variously pre-pubescent, homosocial, platonic, or passionate, from the viewpoints of men and women. It also considers the interaction of some of these texts with the great {\textquoteleft}matters{\textquoteright}, and what could be called their {\textquoteleft}prosody of emotion{\textquoteright}, or exploitation of poetic and narrative form.",
