Modern romance novels

Romantic books about love are one of the favorite genres for women. Despite the fact that romance novels are criticized for being primitive and negative, the books are flying off bookstore shelves. Who reads romance fiction and why?

Modern romance novels tend to be short in length. It takes several hours to read one novel. Today books with sequels are especially popular. Having quickly read one book, readers, in anticipation of the continuation of the love story, buy the next book in the series.

Accessibility, escapism, entertainment - these qualities appealed to both young readers and mature ladies. We have answered the first part of the question. But why do people continue to read modern romance novels?

First of all, because many women have unfulfilled dreams of love. In books they experience feelings and emotions that do not always happen in real life.

The female body especially feels the need to read about love when everything in the family is standard: washing, cleaning, the legal husband does not pay any attention to it.

Modern romance novels can replace women’s gray, dull everyday life with a beautiful, albeit fairy-tale world, where they are the most beautiful, desired and loved!

The history of romance novels

The prototype of modern romance novels can be considered chivalric novels, where the image of the Beautiful Lady was widely cultivated. Writers of the Renaissance sang love, but gave preference not to feelings, but to honor and duty. Their romances ended mostly not in favor of the lovers.

We should pay tribute to Lope de Vega (“Dog in the Manger”) and Tirso de Molina (“Pious Martha,” where they made readers happy with the family union of the main characters. In the 17th century, pastoral novels were read in secular salons.

The action in such books took place in certain fictional countries, and the heroes were idealized shepherds and humble shepherdesses. They flirted with each other, making frivolities that caused society ladies to faint while reading.

Samuel Richardson can be considered the founder of the first romance novels. His books: “Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded,” “Clarissa, or the Story of a Young Lady,” as they would say now, became mega-popular.

His heroines were young beauties, whose beauty was coveted by not quite young, experienced men. Because of their indecent attention, an avalanche of disaster and suffering fell on the girls. The reward for their perseverance and chastity was a happy ending.

The female audience was waiting for the continuation of love stories. On his own account, Richardson wrote the novel “Clarissa,” in which an innocent maiden was kidnapped and dishonored by Robert Lovelace. The girl died. The public demanded that the book be rewritten. Everyone wanted a beautiful love story, not death!

In the next book, Richardson again brought out his hero Robert Lovelace. To please the public, he “kills” the hero in a duel. The name of this dissolute hero has become a household name. Since then, romance novels only end with a happy ending.

Jane Austen also read the novels of Samuel Richardson. In her books, she added parody of sentimental prose, the sanity of the main characters and the catchy personalities of the characters.

It is worth giving this writer credit for the fact that she did not idealize the main characters, but showed them as decent people with their own strengths and weaknesses . In our library, read popular contemporary novels online:
