As soon as he met sweet, shapely Ayanna at his sister's wedding, Johnny knew she was the one. His game plan was honest: shower her with his desires, his devotion, his dreams. But could a man planning forever and a woman still planning the moment find the right time for love?

Romance Readers and Romance Writers
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 3.99 (USD)
Little is known about early nineteenth-century novelist Sarah Green other than that she was well-read, well-travelled, and did most of her writing between the years 1808 and 1824. “Romance Readers and Romance Writers” (1810) is a satirical novel in which she sets out “to shew the effects of romance-reading on the weak and ductile mind of youth.” Green’s Quixotic young heroine, who avidly devours popular romances, especially those of the Gothic variety, begins by taking a more romantic name (“. . . Peggy? My name, sir, is Margaritta; and to no other name will I, hereafter, give an answer.”). Her life is imbued with the aura of her favorite genre. She convinces herself, for example, that her uncle’s country house is haunted because at night she hears noises “which proceeded from no other cause than what is very common in such old houses, which was an army of rats.” In a witty and entertaining preface, Green critiques the work of a number of the popular romance writers of her day, beginning by pronouncing that “Romance proved favourable to the cause of gallantry and heroism during the dark ages, but we, thank heaven! live in more enlightened days.”

Wired-A Romance
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 9.95 (USD)
Louis Rossetto’s Wired was that rarest of birds: a magazine that actually changed the way people thought about the world. Gary Wolf brilliantly brings to life the romance of Wired’s early days, the sheer audaciousness of Rossetto in action, and the galvanizing effect of the magazine’s overamped, self-consciously revolutionary vision of technology. At the same time, he shows how ill-equipped Wired was to deal with success, and how the magazine got swept away by the excesses of the very boom it had helped create.

Rhaeto-romance Languages
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 165.00 (USD)
The Rhaeto-Romance languages have been known as such to the linguistic community since the pioneering studies of Ascoli and Gartner over a century ago. There has never been a community of Rhaeto-Romance speakers with a common history or polity and the dialects are mutually unintelligible, but a unity, based on a number of common features has been advanced. In what sense can Rhaeto-Romance be seen as a single entity and to what extent is it the creation of a small number of academic visionaries? This book, the first general description of the Rhaeto-Romance languages to be written in English, provides a critical examination of the phonology, morphology, lexicon, and syntax of the modern RR dialects within the broader perspective of Romance comparative linguistics.

Seventeenth-Century English Romance

Family Romance
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 15.00 (USD)
The author of The Debt to Pleasure digs into his family’s extraordinary past in a memoir as enthralling as his finest fictionIt was only when his mother died that John Lanchester realized how little he really knew about his parents. With the cache of letters and papers she left behind, he set out to reconstruct just who his parents had been. In doing so, he did much more than trace the remarkable story of a reluctant international banker, a secretive former nun, and the life they shared; he also gained extraordinary insight into his own nature and a deeper understanding of the universal push-pull of family love—and family loss. Part detective work, part evocation of character, this is, above all, compelling storytelling.

A Queer Romance
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 33.95 (USD)
It's here and it's queer - popular culture inhabits all our lives, whether it comes in the form of movies or magazines, TV or shopping. This volume brings together critics, writers and artists to debate the possibilites of popular culture for lesbians and gay men.In a collection that is "in-yer-face" but never "out-to-lunch", the contributors variously: revisit debates about the gaze to provide a new theory of queer viewing; discuss texts coded as queer - from lesbian vampires to Hollywood's use of gay codes in mainstream films such as "Top Gun" and "Black Widow"; consider the sexual and cultural narratives at play in the world of home shopping catalogues; explore the pleasures and perils of gay cultural production, from the radically queer film-making of Monika Treut to the wild world of homocore fanzines; and address the possibilities of texts claiming to be "for" the gay spectator - from pornography "by women, for women and about women" to "Out" TV.The contributors to this book don't all agree but, taken together, the collection argues strongly that everyone can have their queer moments.

The Romance of Failure
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 50.00 (USD)
This book focuses on the intense intimacy between author and first-person narrator in the fictions of Poe, Hawthorne, and James in order to defend the beleaguered "I" in these works against the depersonalizing tendencies of postructuralism. In reaffirming the importance of the human subject for the study of narrative, Auerbach shows how the first person form, in particular, underscores fundamental problems of literary representation: how fictions come to be made, and the relation between these plots and the people who make them.

The Orient in Chaucer and Medieval Romance
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 80.00 (USD)
Heffernan's book focuses on romance and the Orient in Chaucer and in anonymous popular metrical romances. This study in textual-historical relations between Islamic East and Christian West made visible in a group of predominantly late romance texts suggests that contact with strangers can become a powerful motor for change in literature.Heffernan shows that the addition of a pattern of mercantile details in Chaucer's treatment of the legend of Constance, as told by the Man of Law, invites a consideration of this pious romance with particular attention to the commercial context of the eastern Mediterranean in which the heroine is placed. Chaucer's portraits of Cleopatra and Dido from the "Legend of Good Women", read against parallel texts, especially in Boccaccio, reveal them to be loci of medieval orientalism. Chaucer's handling of details taken from Eastern sources and analogues in the "Squire's Tale" is inventive in shaping them into a western form popular in medieval French romance: poetry of interlace. The study demonstrates that previously un-noticed overtones of sibling incest in the Middle English "Floris and Blauncheflur" are legitimized by their transformation into a quest for the beloved and that "Le Bone Florence of Rome" is related to analogous oriental tales about heroic women who remain steadfast in virtue against persecution and adversity.Professor CAROL F. HEFFERNAN teaches in the Department of English, Rutgers University.

Available at eBooks.com for only $ 68.00 (USD)

Threesomes and more, canings, spankings, parlor maids, duchesses, ladies in waiting, ladies of the night, were all grist for Charlie's mill.

Unaccusative Verbs in Romance Languages
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 104.00 (USD)
The author questions the status quo in Romance linguistics regarding such matters as auxiliary selection, partitive cliticization, bare subjects, participle agreement, and more. For the past two decades the Ergative/Unaccusative syntactic approach has been accepted as the orthodox analytical paradigm. He here re-examines both the theoretical imperative and the empirical evidence for that approach, drawing on a large amount of new and surprising data from Italian, Spanish, French and Catalan, and concludes that it is essentially unmotivated. Alternative explanations are advanced, based on information structure, semantics and the impact on synchrony of diachronic change. The picture that emerges is one of a complex but interrelated set of causalities.

Cannon has written a heartfelt coming-of-age tale with true southern flair.

Chivalry and Romance in the English Renaissance
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 95.00 (USD)
Chivalry and Romance in Renaissance England offers a reinterpretation of the place and significance of chivalric culture in the sixteenth and seventeenth-century and explores the implications of this reconfigured interpretation for an understanding of the medieval generally. Received wisdom has it that both chivalric culture and the literature of chivalry - romances - were obsolete by the time of the Renaissance, an understanding epitomised by the figure of Don Quixote, the reader of chivalric fictions whose risible literary tastes render him absurd. By way of contrast, this study finds evidence for the continued vitality and relevance of chivalric values at all levels of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century society, from the court entertainments of Elizabeth I to the civic culture of London merchants and artisans. At the same time, it charts the process by which, throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the chivalric has been firstly exclusively identified with the medieval and then transformed into a virtual shorthand for 'pastness' generally.ALEX DAVIS is lecturer in English, University of St Andrews.

Against the Romance of Community
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 60.00 (USD)
Community is almost always invoked as an unequivocal good, an indicator of a high quality of life, caring, selflessness, belonging. Into this common portrayal, Against the Romance of Community introduces an uncommon note of caution, a penetrating, sorely needed sense of what, precisely, we are doing when we call upon this ideal. Miranda Joseph explores sites where the ideal of community relentlessly recurs, from debates over art and culture in the popular media, to the discourses and practices of nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations, to contemporary narratives of economic transformation or "globalization." She shows how community legitimates the social hierarchies of gender, race, nation, and sexuality that capitalism implicitly requires. Joseph argues that social formations, including community, are constituted through the performativity of production. This strategy makes it possible to understand connections between identities and communities that would otherwise seem disconnected: gay consumers in the United States and Mexican maquiladora workers; Christian right "family values" and Asian "crony capitalism." Exposing the complicity of social practices, identities, and communities with capitalism, this truly constructive critique opens the possibility of genuine alliances across such differences.

Sex, Love, and Romance in the Mass Media
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 69.95 (USD)
This research-based text offers both foundational theories and practical applications of analysis and criticism of mass media portrayals of sex, love and romance in a wide variety of mass media, from entertainment to advertising to news. The multidisciplinary methodical perspective comes out of a media literacy approach and embraces a variey of traditions along the quantitative-qualitative continuum. Focused on portrayals of male-female coupleship, the book is centred around the 12 major myths and stereotypes of Galician's "Dr Galician Prescription" (R) that encapsulates healthy strategies - rarely found in the mass media - to counteract that myth or sterotype. Readers learn how to identify, illustrate, deconstruct, evaluate and reframe the mass media's mythic and stereotypic portrayals of sex, love and romance. They also learn how to use their own formal critical evaluations to clarify their own values and - as media consumers or mass communication creators - to share their insights with others. Thus, the learning objectives encompass all three major educational domains: cognitive, affective and behavioural.Part One of this book covers the five foundations: myths and stereotypes of love and coupleship; models of realistic and constructive love and coupleship; mass media storytelling approaches, techniques and devices; research and theories of mass media effects; and strategies and skills of media literacy. Part Two is devoted to exploring the myths and stereotypes identified in the quiz. Following several brief case studies and a summary of related research and commentary, each chapter focuses on analyses and criticisms of portrayals of sex, love and romance in the content of news and adertising, as well as entertainment using Galician's "Seven-Step Dis-illusioning Directions". Each chapter concludes with a "Dis-illusion Digest". Galician - a media literacy advocate - is not anti-media. Rather, her goal is to empower consumers to use these portrayals with more awareness of their possible consequences, to resist adopting them as models for actual behaviour, and to consciously reframe them into more realistic, productive scenarios.

Romance and Sex in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 100.00 (USD)
In this volume, "Romance and Sex in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood: Risks and Opportunities", top scholars in the field of family research examine the nature and origin of adolescents' contemporary patterns of sexual and romantic relationships, spanning such diverse topics as the evolutionary roots of these behaviors, as well as policies and programs that represent best practices for addressing these issues in schools and communities. The text offers interdisciplinary expertise from scholars of psychology, social work, sociology, demography, economics, human development and family studies, and public policy. Adolescents and young adults today face very different choices about family formation than did their parents' generation, given such societal changes as the rise in cohabitation, the increase in divorce rates, and families having fewer children. These demographic trends are linked in important ways and provide a backdrop against which adolescents and emerging adults form and maintain romantic and sexual relationships.Editors Crouter and Booth address such questions as: what are the ways in which early family and peer relationships give rise to romantic relationships in the late adolescent and early adult years? How do early romantic and sexual relationships influence individuals' subsequent development and life choices, including family formation? To what extent are current trends in romantic and sexual relationships in adolescence and emerging adulthood problematic for individuals, families, and communities, and what are the most effective ways to address these issues at the level of practice, program, and policy? "Romance and Sex in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood: Risks and Opportunities" is an enlightening compilation of essays for academicians and upper-lever undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of human development and family studies, sociology, and psychology, as well as for practitioners in those fields who work with families and adolescents. The chapters are accessible to a wide variety of audiences.
