Standout pieces include the timeless tragedy of Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers, the intricate social dances of Edith Wharton's New York, and the poignant, unspoken desires in the works of E. M. Forster, highlighting the collection's range from the elation of young love to the introspection of love lost.

Scott Fitzgerald, mirrors the evolution of the romance genre itself.
