    All About Romance: Janet Evanovich on her Stephanie Plum series

    Andrew Stewart focuses on Cymbeline to argue that The New Inn The New Inn is a
    positive, yet equivocal, response to the political climate extant in 1632.

  • The following essay acknowledges the thematic and tonal similarities between The New Inn and the romances, yet highlights a possible occasional, rather than tributary motive for Jonson's partial adoption of the sub-genre, his choice of material being influenced by the political climate in which he was writing as well as by a desire merely to emulate his sometime fellow playwright
