Reading the Romance by Janice A. Radway

Reading the Romance

Women, Patriarchy, And Popular Culture

Janice A. Radway

Originally published in 1984, Reading The Romance challenges popular (and often demeaning) myths about why romantic fiction, one of publishing’s most lucrative categories, captivates millions of women readers. In a new introduction, Janice Radway places the book within the context of current scholarship and offers both an explanation and critique of the study’s limitations.
