Romance Fiction and American Culture: Love as the Practice of Freedom?
by William A. Gleason and Eric Murphy SelingerSince 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.

Romance Militar: No Fogo Cruzado
by Kathleen Hope Mary MiO ruído do helicóptero abafava todos os outros sons ao redor de Caleb, inclusive os seus pensamentos. O alívio era bem-vindo. Uma rede complexa de planejamento tático preenchera cada recanto da sua mente pelas últimas 24 horas, mas já não era sem tempo. Chega de fazer planos. Era outra operação de rotina; entrar, pegar os caras maus e sair. Ele sabia cada movimento que estava para fazer, e cada passo que os sete homens sentados ao seu lado dariam. Ele tinha certeza; era o seu trabalho. Ele era responsável pela segurança e bem estar de cada homem no pelotão e, ao mesmo tempo, pelo sucesso da missão atual. “Cinco minutos, Tenente,” o homem sentado no banco do piloto avisou gritando, interrompendo o chiado monótono. Todos os homens ao redor dele endireitaram a coluna e seus músculos ficaram tensos. Não era medo que os deixava alerta, era antecipação; a mesma antecipação que fluía pelas veias dele. Em quatro minutos e trinta e um segundos, estariam no chão. Em quinze minutos e nove segundos, estariam em posição, a dois quilômetros e meio da zona de pouso. Dentro de trinta minutos, a sua missão estaria completa: suspeitos capturados, inteligência reunida e prédio seguro. Os dois mil quilos de cocaína alojados no prédio não eram problema seu, só os homens que a vendiam e a sua lista de compradores. “Só pegue aqueles desgraçados, Caleb,” disse o Observador. “Nós limpamos a bagunça depois.” Em outras palavras, outro time seria destacado para dar um jeito nas drogas depois que a área estivesse segura...
Romance Militar: Salvando a Sarah
by Kathleen HopeSarah vagó de cama en cama, mirando a los pocos pacientes en la Clínica Hedley. Era un contraste tan bienvenido de cuando llegó y estableció el improvisado hospital frente a Río Negro. El área de tratamiento estaba a rebosar de pacientes desde el primer día, todos con una necesidad desesperada de atención. La malaria, la fiebre amarilla, el cólera, la fiebre tifoidea y la diabetes no controlada habían corrido de forma desenfrenada en toda el área. Pero gracias a los medicamentos antipalúdicos, las vacunas, los antibióticos y las soluciones de rehidratación, el número de pacientes había disminuido drásticamente. La mayoría de los días trajo pacientes con infecciones en el oído, presión arterial alta, ataques de asma e incluso el chequeo prenatal ocasional. Aún así, hubo un flujo relativamente regular de pacientes de emergencia que sufrieron lesiones por accidentes agrícolas e incluso mordeduras de cocodrilo. Los enormes caimanes negros eran en especial problemáticos, sobre todo durante las estaciones húmedas cuando se aventuraron a las sabanas inundadas de la cuenca del Amazonas. Aunque había mucho más que desearía poder hacer, nunca pasó un día en que no sintiera que...

Romance Revisited
by Jackie Stacey Lynne PearceAfter decades of feminism and deconstruction, romance remains firmly in place as a central preoccupation in the lives of most women. Divorce rates skyrocket, the traditional family is challenged from all sides, and yet romance seems indestructible. In terms of its cultural representation, the popularity of romance also appears unchallenged. Popular fiction, Hollywood cinema, television soap-operas, and the media in general all display a seemingly bottomless appetite for romantic subjects. The trappings of classic romance—white weddings, love songs, Valentine's Day--are as commercially viable as ever.<P><P> In this anthology of original essays, romance is revisited from a wide spectrum of perspectives, not just in fiction and film but in a whole range of cultural phenomena. Essays range over such issues as Valentine's Day, interracial relationships, medieval erotic visions and modern romance fiction, the relationship between the lesbian poet H.D. and Bryher, the pervasive whiteness of romantic desire, lesbian erotica in the age of AIDS, and the public romance of Charles and Diana.
