Romance fiction in historical context
Jay Dixon’s study examines Mills & Boon romantic fiction from 1909 to 1995 as both a literary form and a record of changing ideas about women. Its approach connects depictions of women in the novels to their historical contexts, with discussion spanning subjects including class and wealth in the early years and sex and violence in the 1920s. The book offers a focused framework for considering how popular romance intersects with social history and the history of ideas.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
