The scope of the study ranges from Heliodorus' \u003ci\u003eAithiopika\u003c\/i\u003e to the short novels of Aphra Behn, to the modern romance novel \u003ci\u003eForbidden\u003c\/i\u003e by Beverly Jenkins. This analysis engages with the troublesome racecraft of \"passing\" and the instability of racial identity and its formation from the premodern to the present. The study also looks at the significance of white settler colonialism to early modern romance narratives. A bridge between studies of early modern romance and scholarship on twenty-first-century romance novels, this book is well-suited for those interested in the romance genre.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargo Hendricks\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
