In the twenty-first century, the romance genre has gained a growing
academic response, including the creation of the International
Association for the Study of Popular Romance. Popular romance has
long been so ignored and maligned that seemingly every scholarly
work on it opens with a lengthy defense of the genre and its value
for academic study. Even the early scholarly works on the genre
approach it in ways that, while primarily respectful, make sweeping
generalizations about popular romance, its texts, and its readers.
This essay collection examines the position of the romance genre in
the twenty-first century, and the ways in which romance responds to
and influences the culture and community in which it exists. Essays
are divided into six sections, which cover the genre's relationship
with masculinity, the importance of consent, historical romance,
representation, social status and web-based romance fiction.
One of the FX network's most successful original productions, Sons
of Anarchy roared onto the scene in September 2008 and dominated
FX's programming for seven seasons. Following an eponymous outlaw
motorcycle club on its Shakespearean journey, Sons of Anarchy took
its audience on a wild ride powered by a high-octane brand of
masculinity so potent the fumes virtually seeped through the
screen. The masculinity on display in Sons of Anarchy is complex,
complicated, and in many ways problematic, both within the story
and as a text. Kurt Sutter, series creator, writer, and showrunner,
depicts male characters who wear their manliness on their backs and
act first from their steel-clad, highly traditional sense of what
it means to be a man. The show both vaunts that sense of
masculinity and challenges it, leaving characters and audience
alike to grapple with the implications and consequences an outlaw
biker's ride-or-die life. This collection includes a robust array
of scholarly perspectives on Sons of Anarchy's complicated
presentation of masculinity and the cultural implications thereof.
