To protect herself she creates a beautiful, cold façade to hide behind. It’s a place where no one can hurt her, or touch her, not even those she loves.

That is, until she betrayed him by accepting his father’s bribe to leave Zavian and his country. He’s left shattered by the betrayal but with an obsession for her which only increases with time. Raised by her eccentric grandfather in the deserts of Taraq, Gabrielle loves the country and Zavian so much that she leaves them. He’s to become King and he needs to marry a suitable Bedouin. So she accepts Zavian’s father’s bribe to leave—it was the only way to make sure Zavian didn’t follow her—and, in so doing, exiles herself from the only home and man she’s ever loved. But a year later, as wedding plans are underway, Zavian suspects Gabrielle is the ‘anonymous’ donor of one his country’s most precious artefacts, purchased for the exact sum as the bribe. So he buys her services from her university in order to find out the truth and rid himself of his obsession. Besides, if Gabrielle can’t be his wife, then why not his mistress?

Book Description

Unique in combining a comprehensive and comparative study of genre with a study of romance, this book constitutes a significant contribution to ongoing critical debates over the definition of romance and the genre and artistry of Malory's Morte Darthur. K.S. Whetter offers an original approach to these issues by prefacing a comprehensive study of romance with a wide-ranging and historically diverse study of genre and genre theory. In doing so Whetter addresses the questions of why and how romance might usefully be defined and how such an awareness of genre-and the expectations that come with such awareness-impact upon both our understanding of the texts themselves and of how they may have been received by their contemporary medieval audiences. As an integral part the study Whetter offers a detailed examination of Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur, a text usually considered a straightforward romance but which Whetter argues should be re-classified and reconsidered as a generic mixture best termed tragic-romance. This new classification is important in helping to explain a number of so-called inconsistencies or puzzles in Malory's text and further elucidates Malory's artistry. Whetter offers a powerful meditation upon genre, romance and the Morte which will be of interest to faculty, graduate students and undergraduates alike.
