There are two types of romance, which we call aristocratic and the popular. They call on the same themes and proptities but differ in scale. The aristocratic romance makes clear its descent from the epic; it is a large-scale work interweaving many narrative threads. The popular romance is focused on simplicity and concentration, as in the ballad. It sets out to tell a story. (Gillian 6) | |||
