Reviews
Rahel Orgis's Narrative Structure and Reader Formation in Lady Mary Wroth's Urania marks a milestone on two fronts. It sets up an inductive narratological procedure for appreciating Wroth's experimental design in the complex discursive terrain of Urania and thereby makes significant advances over classical narratological theory (Gerard Genette, et al.) as equipment for reading early modern prose romances. Orgis's careful attention to the interplay between narrative levels and strands and geographic mappings of travel patterns (p. 10) in Urania provides readers with an enormously helpful way to understand the narrative tactics underpinning Wroth's brand of romance-inflected cosmopolitanism. (261). -- Gallagher, Lowell. Recent Studies in the English Renaissance. SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, vol. 58 no. 1, 2018 The book is very well researched, extremely rigorous in its analysis, and methodologically consistent. The book also opens up genuinely new paths for the study of Lady Mary Wroth's Urania, as well as other prose texts of the early modern period. Rahel Orgis's work will be particularly useful for developing new critical narratives around women writers of the early modern period. Indeed, Orgis's appendices alone - a series of detailed charts which lay out the narrative structure of Urania from different perspectives - will be of great value to early modernists specializing in Wroth or early modern romance. -- SAMEMES Early Career Book Prize, Sep. 2018
