Carolina Fernández Rodríguez - American Quaker Romances

1 The American Friends Service Committee, an inclusive Quaker organization whose mission consists in bringing about lasting peace, offers more information on Quaker Testimonies in their 2011 pamphlet “An Introduction to Quaker Testimonies,” available online.

2 For an in-depth study of Flowers from the Storm , see Selinger’s 2012 chapter “How to Read a Romance Novel (and Fall in Love with Popular Romance).”

3 These discarded novels with Quaker protagonists have been included in the Works Cited section under the labels “Fiction by Author” and “Fiction by Title.” Admittedly, none of those books is part of the analyzed corpus, but I chose to list all the works of fiction mentioned in this book, regardless of whether they have been studied or not. This, I think, will help other readers locate texts with Quaker protagonists which may not meet my criteria, but may meet someone else’s.

4 The corpus selected for this book may not be quite exhaustive. I have tried to find as many historical romances with Quaker protagonists as possible, but a few may have escaped me. I am immensely thankful to Laura Vivanco for helping me discover a few more historicals that met my criteria. Her generosity and genuine interest in contributing to my work are indeed commendable.

5 Proof of the evangelical mission that some publishing houses have is the statement that figures in the opening pages of romances published by both Barbour and Shiloh, as well as by other Evangelical publishing houses that are part of the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association: “Our mission is to publish and distribute inspirational products offering exceptional value and biblical encouragement to the masses.”
