The Historical Romance explores the ways in which romance authors seek to represent our fantasies of life in the past. Examining how the cut-and-thrust swashbucklers of the 1930s gave way to female-orientated romances, Helen Hughes takes a comprehensive look at how romance authors have dealt with the turbulent question of female independence, and how traditional attitudes towards love, marriage and women's sexuality have been approached in more recent texts. Hughes also charts the ways in which the marketing of romance has developed, with the eventual explosion of the mass market and the blockbusting family sagas of the eighties. The Historical Romance unravels the formulaic and mythical nature of historical romance to provide a fascinating study of this highly popular genre.

Ready for a change of pace from Regency London's ton? Then check out the captivating and diverse historical romances in this digital bundle. From the Wild West to medieval times, against the backdrop of India's struggle for independence and America's turbulent sixties, these couples defy the conventions and constraints of their times and risk everything to end up in each other's arms. A Kiss in the Shadows: Driven by his single-minded mission to make the man who killed his brother pay, Brock MacDermott rides from town to town on a lonely quest, careful to keep emotional attachments at arm's length--until young, beautiful Stevie Rae Buchanan insists on joining his hunt to exact her own revenge. There's no room for romance when you're chasing down a dangerous criminal, but when undeniable feelings develop between them, Stevie Rae and Brock must decide whether justice is worth sacrificing everything else. Revolutionary Hearts: To complete his mission in India's fight for independence, General Carton--a.k.a. U.S. undercover operative Warren Khan--must hide both his true objective and his heritage. But once he meets the captivating Parineeta, who holds the key to both his freedom and capturing her brother, a suspected anarchist, he finds the subterfuge more difficult than anticipated. Knight Errant: Beguine follower Juliana Verault holds the key to upending the power structure throughout Europe--a letter from the pope that could radically change the church's stance on women--but only if she can dodge the bounty hunter her cousin, King Edward I of England, has sent for her. Sir Robert Clarwyn has never failed to bring home his target before...but he has also never encountered a quarry like Lady Juliana. Katie's Hero: Katie's got a guilty secret and she's hiding out in London. Michael is a handsome young pilot who likes to play the hero, especially when there's a pretty girl involved, but duty calls him away just when Katie needs him the most. Wounded and full of regrets, he's not sure she'll give him a second glance. Tom is a lovable rogue, or that's what he likes to think. He's touring the world at the army's expense, but he's missing Katie more every day. This wonderful WWII love triangle will enthrall readers. Second Chance: Times are tight in 1969 for Bishou Howard, so she accepts a job as an interpreter for an attendee at a university conference. Louis Dessant, a French-speaking tobacco millionaire from Reunion Island, is attractive, wealthy--and carries a dark secret she accidentally begins to unravel. As the feelings between them build, she takes a risk and travels halfway around the world to his tropical island to get to the bottom of the enigma. But will Louis welcome her, or was this a monumental mistake? The Winter Promise: In the fall of 1053, Lady Imma has one loyalty: to help her uncle, the king of Wales, win his war against the English. Lord Robert, the steward of Wessex, has one loyalty as well: to keep his beloved Wessex safe from enemies. When she is forced to seek shelter in his keep, they must decide if they can listen to their hearts--or if they would be wiser never to trust each other. Sensuality Level: Sensual

The first book-length study of romance novels to focus on issues of sexuality rather than gender, Historical Romance Fiction moves the ongoing debate about the value and appeal of heterosexual romance onto new ground, testing the claims of cutting-edge critical theorists on everything from popular classics by Georgette Heyer, to recent 'bodice rippers,' to historical fiction by John Fowles and A.S. Byatt. Beginning with her nomination of 'I love you' as the romance novel's defining speech act, Lisa Fletcher engages closely with speech-act theory and recent studies of performativity. The range of texts serves to illustrate Fletcher's definition of historical romance as a fictional mode dependent on the force and familiarity of the speech act, 'I love you', and permits Fletcher to provide a detailed account of the genre's history and development in both its popular and 'literary' manifestations. Written from a feminist and anti-homophobic perspective, Fletcher's subtle arguments about the romantic speech act serve to demonstrate the genre's dependence on repetition ('Romance can only quote') and the shaky ground on which the romance's heterosexual premise rests. Her exploration of the subgenre of cross-dressing novels is especially revealing in this regard. With its deft mix of theoretical arguments and suggestive close readings, Fletcher's book will appeal to specialists in genre, speech act and performativity theory, and gender studies.

Meet three young ladies who know they’ll never marry … and the officers who capture their hearts. Welcome to Regency England, where a duke’s daughter, a penniless spinster, and an heiress are about to discover that even though they’ve given up on love, love hasn’t given up on them. This special collection from USA Today bestselling author Emily Larkin includes three delightfully romantic full-length novels—Lady Isabella’s Ogre, The Spinster’s Secret, and the USA Today bestselling Trusting Miss Trentham. If you love page-turning historical romances brimming with emotion, intrigue, and compelling characters, then this collection is for you! Length: Three Regency romance novels totaling 230,000 words Sensuality level: These books contain love scenes ranging in heat from mild to steamy. Lady Isabella’s Ogre Major Nicholas Reynolds has had enough of soldiering; all he wants now is a bride, but his scarred face sends young ladies fleeing. How better to revive his marriage prospects than to indulge in a flirtation with the beautiful Lady Isabella Knox? They both know it’s not real, so where’s the danger? The Spinster’s Secret Matilda Chapple is penniless, orphaned, and dependent on her uncle’s meager charity—but she’s found a way to escape: she’ll write her way to financial freedom! Her secret is safe … until battle-scarred Waterloo veteran, Captain Edward Kane, agrees to uncover the anonymous author’s identity. Trusting Miss Trentham Letitia Trentham is noteworthy for three reasons. One, she’s extremely wealthy. Two, she can distinguish truth from lies. Three, she’s refused every man who’s ever proposed to her. Until she receives a proposal she can’t turn down: help Major Icarus Reid hunt down a traitor. In addition to the three novels, this collection also contains the first three chapters of Primrose and the Dreadful Duke.
