The Historical Romance explores the ways in which romance authors
seek to represent our fantasies of life in the past. Examining how
the cut-and-thrust swashbucklers of the 1930s gave way to
female-orientated romances, Helen Hughes takes a comprehensive look
at how romance authors have dealt with the turbulent question of
female independence, and how traditional attitudes towards love,
marriage and women's sexuality have been approached in more recent
texts. Hughes also charts the ways in which the marketing of
romance has developed, with the eventual explosion of the mass
market and the blockbusting family sagas of the eighties.
The Historical Romance unravels the formulaic and mythical nature
of historical romance to provide a fascinating study of this highly
popular genre.
