After decades of feminism and deconstruction, romance remains
firmly in place as a central preoccupation in the lives of most
women. Divorce rates skyrocket, the traditional family is
challenged from all sides, and yet romance seems indestructible. In
terms of its cultural representation, the popularity of romance
also appears unchallenged. Popular fiction, Hollywood cinema,
television soap-operas, and the media in general all display a
seemingly bottomless appetite for romantic subjects. The trappings
of classic romance--white weddings, love songs, Valentine's
Day--are as commercially viable as ever.In this anthology of
original essays, romance is revisited from a wide spectrum of
perspectives, not just in fiction and film but in a whole range of
cultural phenomena. Essays range over such issues as Valentine's
Day, interracial relationships, medieval erotic visions and modern
romance fiction, the relationship between the lesbian poet H.D. and
Bryher, the pervasive whiteness of romantic desire, lesbian erotica
in the age of AIDS, and the public romance of Charles and Diana.
