| Summary: | "Romance novels have had a bad reputation as trashy, sex-filled fantasy escapes for frustrated housewives. But romances account for nearly half of the fictional paperbacks published. To analyze this phenomenon, the critics looked at the conventions or patterns which the romances use to tell their stories." "Looking at some conventions from a new angle, the essayists found that the power of the romance genre is its ability to gaze both backward to earlier histories and forms and forward into new experimental forms. How well each romance writer uses the conventions of her craft to make the old seem new provides the critics with material for their observations." "By inspecting the craft of romance writing, the essayists hope to encourage the increased appreciation of this popular art of storytelling."--BOOK JACKET. |
