Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This book focuses on the projections of romantic love and its progression in a selection of popular romance novels and identifies an innovation within the genres formula and structure. Taking into account Giddenss notion of confluent love, this book argues that two forms of love exist within these texts: romantic and confluent love. The analysis of these love variants suggests that a continuum emerges which signifies the complexity but also the formation and progressive nature of the protagonists love relationships. This continuum is divided into three stages: the pre-personal, semi-personal, and personal. The first phase connotes the introduction of the protagonists and describes the sexual attraction they experience for each other. The second phase refers to the initiation of the sexual interaction between the heroine and hero without any emotional involvement. The third and final phase begins when emotions such as jealousy, shame/guilt, anger, and self-sacrifice are awakened and acknowledged. This book follows a close textual analysis approach and offers a discussion of love as portrayed in Modern popular romances. Based on the construction of a novel continuum, this book illustrates a variety of love forms and signals the complexity of love and intimate relationships in popular romance narratives.
