"Since the earliest days," writes Richard Chase in this classic study, "the American novel, in its most original and characteristic form, has worked out its destiny and defined itself by incorporating an element of romance." In his detailed study of works by Charles Brockden Brown, James Fenimore Cooper, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Mark Twain, Henry James, Frank Norris, George Washington Cable, William Dean Howells, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and William Faulkner, Chase identifies and traces this tradition through two centuries of American literature.</P>
The best novelists, he argues, have found uses for romance beyond the escapism, fantasy, and sentimentality often associated with it.

Romance. (Discontinuities, disunities and contradictions). James's assimilation of the romance elements into the novel.
评分寫得就還挺平易近人的。對美國這種獨特的romance-novel的解讀挺到位,尤其第一章與英國小說的區分。就是在講Billy Budd時,作者提齣這個小說political的成分遠大於religious,但反手又在彆的地方寫瞭一篇名為The Rite of Sacrament的文章來解讀這個小說,不知他到底是怎麼想的。
