| | Romance novel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A romance novel is a novel from the genre currently known as romance. | | | Romance novels can also trace their roots back to gothic novels, if not to the idea of the "roman" itself through the romance (genre), a heroic prose and narrative form of medieval/Renaissance Europe. | | | Romance novels are divided into two sub-sets, category romances (also called series romances) and single title romances. |

| | Novel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The story was firmly a "novel" and not a "romance": a story of unparalleled female virtue, with a heroine who had had the chance to risk an illicit amour and not only withstood the temptation but made herself more unhappy by confessing her feelings to her husband. | | | Early 18th century novels and romances were still not considered part the world of learning, hence, not of part of literature; they were market goods. | | | The ancient Greek romance was revived by Byzantine novelists of the 12th century. |

| | Romance, Romanticism, and the Powers of the Imagination |
| | Radcliffe perfected the gothic romance novel; Scott elaborated the poetic romance and virtually defined the historical romance, while Byron made his name and fame in exotic quest romance: his first success, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812), was subtitled "A Romaunt" (an old "romance" spelling), confirming the aura of the main title. | | | Keats suggests one of these when he portrays "Romance" itself as a dangerous seductress (a "Queen of far-away," a "Fair plumed Syren") and opposes her allure to the demands of epic and tragedy (by which male poets claimed their fame). | | | The most celebrated romancers were hardly uncritical practitioners of the genre. |

| | A Natural History of the Romance Novel Regis, Pamela |
| | Taking the stance that the popular romance novel is a work of literature with a brilliant pedigree, Regis asserts that it is also a very old, stable form, properly defined as a work of prose fiction that tells the story of the courtship and betrothal of one or more heroines. | | | Presenting the counterclaim that the romance novel does not enslave women but, on the contrary, is about celebrating freedom and joy, Regis offers a definition that provides critics with an expanded vocabulary for discussing a genre that is both classic and contemporary, sexy and entertaining. | | | Scholars have alleged that romance novels help create subservient readers, who are largely women, by confining heroines to stories that ignore issues other than love and marriage. |

| | Novel, Romance, and Gothic: Brief Definitions |
| | Doubtless the main difference between the novel and the romance is in the way in which they view reality. | | | In American romances it will not matter much what class people come from, and where the novelist would arouse our interest in a character by exploring his origin, the romancer will probably do so by enveloping it in mystery. | | | (This is not always true, as we see in what might be called the static romances of Hawthorne, in which the author uses the allegorical and moral, rather than the dramatic, possibilities of the form.) The romance can flourish without providing much intricacy of relation. |

| | NPR : Romance Novel Cover Stories |
| | The romance books were easy to spot, says Jennifer McKnight-Trontz, author of The Look of Love: The Art of the Romance Novel (Princeton Architectural Press). | | | The romance cover of the 1940s had very glamorous illustrations of couples going out on the town, McKnight-Trontz says. | | | There would be a few flowers, the words "lover," "mistress," or "cherish." A man and woman would gaze longingly into each other's eyes, giving the covers a sweet, innocent and pleasant appearance, McKnight-Trontz tells Renée Montagne on Morning Edition. |

| | Brass Lantern Emily Short Romance Novel Comp 2002 Reviews |
| | After all, as any romance connoisseur knows, there is a broad range in those novels that the untrained lump together under the title of Romance. | | | I imagine that this deep and thorough knowledge of the genre must be the result of reading at least one -- nay, perhaps as even many as *two* -- pages of a romance, not to mention the back covers of several more. | | | To say more of the plot would be to reveal overmuch, if plot it may accurately be said to have; for like many of its ilk, the Choose Your Own Romance is narratively wayward and frolicsome. |
