| | Notes on Middle English Romance |
| | In her essay, Everett attempts to develop distinctions between the romance and the saint's life, the romance and the ballad, the romance and the chanson de geste, and the romance and the tale. | | | Her considered definition of medieval romance, then, is as follows: "Medieval romances are stories of adventure in which the chief parts are played by knights, famous kings, or distressed ladies, acting most often under the impulse of love, religious faith, or, in many, mere desire for adventure. | | | Structurally, the medieval romance often follows the loose pattern of the quest, tending thus to be merely episodic--to have a plot structured by and-then rather than hence. |

| | Paranormal Romance |
| | Paranormal romances usually start in that hesitating area called the fantastic, but evolve into the marvelous (where the supernatural event is accepted as supernatural rather than explained away). | | | However, paranormal romance readers differ from Toderov’s readers of the fantastic because they experience less hesitation: most readers know on some level that accepting the supernatural is part of the romance formula. | | | Fifty-four percent of paperback fiction sold is romance fiction,[i] and paranormal romance—that is, romance including any element beyond the range of scientific explanation, like ghosts or time travel—rivals and often surpasses in popularity fantasy novels containing similar elements. |

| | Romance Romance |
| | According to the Oxford English Dictionary, short version, romance is pretty much a lie, a fantasy, a dressed-up fib, a story, a ‘wild and wanton’ exaggeration. | | | Now, there, the OED brushes closer to the meaning of romance as it pertains to Valentine’s Day: the phrases “drawn by lot” or, even better, “otherwise determined” are certainly more romantic than the OED intended. | | | So Saint Valentine, his details murky, his existence in doubt, his martyrdom undoubtedly painful, since he either died in jail of a fever or was beaten with clubs and/or decapitated, and his association with the Lupercalia no doubt scandalous to the old saint, does have additional one bit of authentic romance attached to his name. |
