James and Peggy Knapp's latest joint scholarly endeavor, Medieval Romance: The Aesthetics of Possibility, is a significant and original contribution to the study of medieval romance, for it brings forth and examines the philosophical underpinnings of a number of well-known and extensively studied romances. -- Kimberly K. Bell, Sam Houston State University * Modern Philology, vol 117, no 1 *
