Description

Explore a groundbreaking academic study that shifts the conversation around romance novels. Historical Romance Fiction by Lisa Fletcher is the first book-length examination to focus on issues of sexuality rather than gender, offering a fresh perspective on the genre's appeal. This work moves the debate about the value of heterosexual romance onto new ground. By testing the claims of critical theorists, the text analyzes a wide range of literature. This includes popular classics by Georgette Heyer, recent bodice rippers, and historical fiction from authors like John Fowles and A.S. Byatt. Lisa Fletcher utilizes speech-act theory and recent studies of performativity to analyze the genre. By identifying "I love you" as the defining speech act of the romance novel, the book provides a deep look into how these stories function. This is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in anthropology, sociology, and literary theory.
