Book Synopsis Romance and Readership in Twentieth-Century France by : Diana Holmes
Book excerpt: This book traces the history of the romance through the turbulent history of twentieth-century women in France. It offers a compelling analysis not only of the mass-market or popular romance, but also of the bestselling 'middlebrow' novel, and of 'literary' romances by authors including Colette, Simone de Beauvoir, and their contemporary successors.
