Since the 1970s, romance novels have surpassed all other genres in
terms of popularity in the United States, accounting for half of
all mass market paperbacks sold and driving the digital publishing
revolution. Romance Fiction and American Culture brings together
scholars from the humanities, social sciences, and publishing to
explore American romance fiction from the late eighteenth to the
early twenty-first century. Essays on interracial, inspirational,
and LGBTQ romance attend to the diversity of the genre, while new
areas of inquiry are suggested in contextual and interdisciplinary
examinations of romance authorship, readership, and publishing
history, of pleasure and respectability in African American romance
fiction, and of the dynamic tension between the genre and second
wave feminism. As it situates romance fiction among other instances
of American love culture, from Civil War diaries to Bob Dylan's
Blood on the Tracks, Romance Fiction and American Culture confirms
the complexity and enduring importance of this most contested of
genres.
